| Reverse description | A small cross pattée is positioned at the center of the field, surrounded by four quarters; pellets are placed in the second and third quarters, a decorative arrangement typical of Viking Danelaw penny types. The design is executed with characteristic irregularity of hammer-struck coinage of the period. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central motif, reading a pious invocation proclaiming divine kingship. The overall composition reflects the blending of Anglo-Saxon monetary tradition with Scandinavian patronage during the Viking Kingdom of York. |
