| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse presents an epigraphic design in lieu of a royal portrait, with the king's name and title arranged across three horizontal lines in the field, each line separated by a row of pellets. The inscription reads in angular Latin lettering characteristic of late 8th-century East Anglian hammered coinage. The entire legend is enclosed within a beaded border, lending the design a formal, structured appearance consistent with the broader tradition of aniconic Anglo-Saxon pennies. The three-line layout, sometimes described as a 'three-line type,' reflects a deliberate typological choice distinguishing this issue within the East Anglian series. The angular execution of the letterforms underscores the skilled craftsmanship of the royal mint under Eadwald's brief reign. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Eadwald's reign is among the most obscure in Anglo-Saxon numismatic history — he appears in no chronicle, no charter, no hagiography. The coins are essentially the only proof he existed. This three-line type, along with a small handful of related pennies, constitutes the entire surviving documentary record of his kingship over East Anglia, a reign that likely lasted no more than a few years before Mercia reasserted its dominance over the region following Offa's death in 796.
