| Obverse description | Stylised facing bust of King Ceolwulf I set within a beaded inner circle, rendered in the angular, schematic manner characteristic of early ninth-century Mercian coinage. The face is depicted with bold linear features including large eyes, a prominent nose, and a small mouth, with the head flanked by pelleted ornaments. A cross pattée appears to the left of the bust, with additional symbols suggesting regalia. The surrounding legend reads + CEOLVVLF REX M, identifying the issuer as Ceolwulf, King of Mercia, separated by a cross at the commencement. |
