| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed and draped bust of Alfred the Great facing right, rendered in the late Anglo-Saxon portrait style with finely engraved hair and diadem detail. The effigy is depicted with a beaded neckline and layered drapery over the shoulders and chest. The royal title legend surrounds the bust in the field, reading from upper left to right. The coin is struck within a plain inner circle bordered by a beaded outer rim typical of late ninth-century Wessex coinage. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field dominated by the large LONDONIA monogram, an interlaced cipher combining the letters of LONDONIA in a decorative ligature characteristic of Alfred's London coinage issued following his occupation of the city circa 886. A cross formed of wedge-shaped pellets is positioned above the monogram, and a cross of pellets appears below, providing symmetrical decorative punctuation to the design. The whole is enclosed within a beaded border. The composition is bold and graphic, reflecting the mint's ambition to assert London's restored civic identity under Alfredian authority. |
