| Reverse description | Central field displays a CANT monogram — a decorative interlaced device incorporating the letters of the Canterbury mint signature — enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend names the moneyer Ealhmund and identifies the mint as Canterbury (Cant), separated by cross stops, and is contained within a beaded outer border. The reverse layout mirrors the obverse in its concentric ring composition, consistent with the standard Phase III Canterbury penny format. The die work reflects the accomplished engraving tradition of the Canterbury mint under Æthelwulf. |
