| Reverse description | Central field featuring a prominent symmetrical motif, likely a stylised monogram or interlaced device, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. Radiating lines or arms extend outward from the central design, dividing the field in a manner consistent with the so-called 'cross-and-wedge' or monogram type of late eighth-century Wessex pennies. A legend, likely recording the moneyer's name, is arranged in the outer field between the radiating arms and the beaded peripheral border. The hammered flan is slightly irregular, typical of the period, and the design shows the bold, angular lettering characteristic of Anglo-Saxon coinage of this era. |
