| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central patriarchal cross with a smaller cross at its base occupying the field, flanked by pellets and angular letter-forms arranged in the four quarters. The legend, composed of bold, somewhat crudely formed Latin capitals, encircles the design within a beaded border. The overall style is characteristic of Viking-period Anglo-Scandinavian coinage, with the lettering irregularly spaced around the periphery. The coin exhibits the robust, hand-struck quality typical of late ninth-century York mint issues. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The joint-name coinage of Cnut and Siefred represents one of the more puzzling episodes in Viking numismatic history. Neither ruler is well-documented in written sources, and scholars continue to debate whether the names appear together because the two kings reigned simultaneously, in quick succession, or whether one name is a throne name adopted by the same individual. The coins themselves have been the primary evidence for reconstructing whatever political arrangement existed at York during this window.
Dies were shared loosely across the series, and moneyer attributions on individual pieces remain the most reliable tool for sequencing issues within the type.
