| Reverse description | A cross pattée at the center of the coin, elegantly rendered with small pellets or crosslets at the terminals of each arm, set within a plain inner circle. The cross design is characteristic of the Anglo-Saxon period, demonstrating the strong ecclesiastical influence on coinage of this era. The moneyer's legend surrounds the central motif in the outer field, reading + FVLRΛD MONTA, identifying the moneyer responsible for striking the coin. The lettering is executed in bold Roman capitals consistent with the epigraphy of the reign of Æthelstan. |
