| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a two-line moneyer inscription arranged across the field, reading BVRH above and ELM MO below, identifying the moneyer as Burhhelm responsible for the striking of this issue. Two horizontal lines flank a central cross motif, dividing the field and giving a structured, architectural appearance typical of Anglo-Saxon penny reverses of this period. The lettering is bold and deeply struck in the angular, uncial-influenced script common to mid-tenth-century English hammered coinage. A beaded outer border frames the entire design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Eadred's reign was consumed almost entirely by the struggle to hold Northumbria, which flip-flopped between English and Norse Viking control no fewer than three times before Eric Bloodaxe was killed at Stannmore in 954, finally ending Scandinavian kingship in York. Coins from this reign are accordingly scarce — the political instability disrupted the northern mints severely, and surviving examples attributable to named moneyers remain difficult to locate.
The Floral type is one of several distinct issues sharing the nine-year reign, catalogued separately by North precisely because moneyer and mint attribution helps reconstruct which regions were under firm West Saxon administrative control at any given point.
