| Obverse description | Diademed bust of King Baldred facing right, rendered in the angular, stylized manner characteristic of Kentish Anglo-Saxon coinage of the early ninth century. The effigy occupies the central field with minimal drapery indicated at the shoulder. A Latin legend reading + BΛLDRED REX encircles the bust, identifying the ruler by name and title. The lettering is set within the outer border in the typical insular epigraphic style of the period. |

| Reverse description | A cross moline is prominently displayed at the center of the coin, enclosed within a beaded or plain inner circle, a standard design convention of Anglo-Saxon penny coinage. The central motif exhibits the characteristic flared and curved terminals of the cross moline type. Surrounding the inner circle, the moneyer's name legend + EDELmOD mOИ-TΛ is distributed around the field, identifying the issuing moneyer. The overall composition is well-centered for a hammered issue and consistent with Rochester mint production of the period. |
