| Reverse description | A small cross pattée occupies the central field, with pellets present in the first and fourth quarters within an inner circle, creating a quartered composition typical of late Viking-period Northumbrian issues. A continuous Latin legend encircles the design, running close to the coin's periphery. The die workmanship reflects the local Viking mint style of York, with slightly irregular letter forms and spacing. The overall reverse composition balances the bold cruciform obverse with a more delicate, intricate arrangement of symbolic and epigraphic elements. |
