| Reverse description | Central cross pattée with a pellet placed in each of the four quarters, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The moneyer's name is distributed around the inner circle as a circumscribed legend. The execution is consistent with the standard Viking-period York penny reverse type, with the cross motif reflecting both Christian iconography and Anglo-Saxon monetary conventions absorbed into the Hiberno-Norse coinage tradition. |
