| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing crowned bust of King Edward the Confessor, rendered in the flat, stylised Anglo-Saxon hammered tradition. The king wears a radiate or jewelled crown and is depicted with drapery gathered and joined at the breast by an annulet. A sceptre is held in the right hand, visible to the left of the effigy. The surrounding legend in Old English minuscule reads EADǷARD REX, enclosed within a beaded inner circle typical of late Anglo-Saxon coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck in the final months of Edward the Confessor's reign, this type bridges two distinct coinage phases and was produced across a network of licensed moneyers operating under tight royal control. Edward died in January 1066, making any coin from this brief type a product of a kingdom already fracturing — Harold Godwinson was crowned the same day Edward was buried, and within ten months the entire Anglo-Saxon monetary infrastructure would be absorbed into Norman administration.
The Pyramids type takes its name from the scepter finials in the design, a detail significant enough to distinguish it from the preceding Hammer Cross issue in the Spink and North references.
