| Reverse description | Central cross moline, its arms terminating in bifurcated curves, with a prominent fleur-de-lis ornament occupying each of the four angles between the arms. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the moneyer's legend distributed around the periphery of the flan. The overall execution is characteristic of the Bristol mint's output during the Anarchy, showing the fluid, somewhat irregular strike typical of hammered coinage of this period. |
