| Reverse description | A prominent cross fleurée occupies the centre of the reverse, with a quadrilateral ornament featuring incurved sides and a fleur-de-lis at each of its four extremities superimposed over the cross. This decorative arrangement is characteristic of the baronial penny types struck during the Anarchy. A partial surrounding legend, of which only fragments survive on the irregular flan, references the moneyer's name. The design is executed in hammered relief on an uneven, clipped flan consistent with civil war-era silver pennies. |
