| Obverse description | Bearded effigy of King Edward the Confessor facing right, wearing a distinctive pointed helmet with visible cheek guards and a decorned crown. The king's robes are rendered with schematic drapery folds at the shoulder, characteristic of late Anglo-Saxon die-cutting. A long sceptre or sword rises vertically before the royal bust, serving as a regal attribute. The legend encircles the design within the coin's irregular hammered flan, rendered in Roman capital lettering with Anglo-Saxon runic characters. The overall style reflects the accomplished but stylised craftsmanship of mid-11th-century English moneyers. |
