| Obverse description | Inscribed field bearing a two-line Latin legend divided by a small cross pattée at centre, with pellets flanking the cross in the field. The die-cut lettering is executed in the bold, somewhat irregular style characteristic of Viking-age York hammered coinage. The entire design is contained within a plain inner border and a beaded outer circle, with no figural imagery, the inscription serving as the sole decorative element. |
