| Obverse description | Central field displays an uncial Mercian 'm' with a contraction mark above, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend reads +COENVVLF REX, identifying the issuer as King Coenwulf of Mercia. The lettering is rendered in bold uncial characters consistent with Anglo-Saxon die-cutting practice of the late eighth and early ninth centuries. The overall design is characteristic of the Mercian monetary tradition under Coenwulf's reign. |
