| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central cross pattée with pellets in each angle, set within a plain inner circle. The surrounding legend reads + EΛDMVИD REX, identifying the issuer as King Eadmund, rendered in Anglo-Saxon majuscule lettering with characteristic epigraphic forms. The coin is struck on an irregular flan typical of late Anglo-Saxon hammered coinage, with the legend distributed evenly around the central device. The field is flat and unadorned, directing focus to the cross motif as the primary design element. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central cross pattée with pellets in each angle, enclosed within a plain inner circle, closely mirroring the obverse design in layout and execution. The outer legend reads + BΛEΓHELM MOT, naming the moneyer Beaghelm, with the abbreviation MOT (monetarius) identifying his role in the production of the coin. The lettering is rendered in the same angular Anglo-Saxon epigraphic style as the obverse, distributed around the inner circle on the irregular hammered flan. The overall design reflects the Two-Line or cross-and-pellets type standard to East Anglian coinage of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Eadmund ruled East Anglia for roughly seven years before the Great Heathen Army — the Danish force that had landed in 865 — captured and killed him in 869. The killing was systematic enough to become hagiography within decades: bound to a tree, shot with arrows, beheaded. His canonization followed swiftly, and within a generation his name was being struck on coins by the very Danes who had killed him, the St. Edmund memorial penny series vastly outnumbering anything produced during his actual reign.
Coins struck in his lifetime are accordingly scarce.
