| Obverse description | Diademed bust of King Coenwulf facing right, rendered in the bold, stylised manner characteristic of late Anglo-Saxon die-cutting, set within a beaded inner circle. The hair is indicated by short radial lines beneath the diadem, and drapery is suggested at the truncation. A continuous Latin legend encircles the bust between the inner and outer beaded borders. |
