| Obverse description | Bust of King Cnut facing right, wearing a distinctive pointed helmet with a suspended cheek-guard, draped in a mantle with beaded ornament at the shoulder. The effigy is rendered in the bold, linear Anglo-Saxon hammered style, with the king's features shown in profile within a beaded inner circle. A Latin legend encircles the portrait in the outer field, reading clockwise from a cross pattee. |
