| Obverse description | Facing bust of Archbishop Ceolnoth rendered in a stylised Anglo-Saxon manner, depicted wearing an ecclesiastical helmet or mitre with decorative detailing. The portrait is set within the central field, with the head facing forward and displaying characteristic early medieval linear engraving. A circular Latin legend surrounds the bust, reading the archbishop's name and title. The coin is struck on an irregular flan typical of ninth-century Canterbury hammered coinage, with a beaded border encircling the design. |
