| Reverse description | Central jewel cross design composed of four ovals or pellet-in-annulet motifs arranged in cruciform fashion, their bases united by two concentric circles enclosing a central pellet, forming the distinctive 'Jewel Cross' type. The overall design is confined within a beaded inner border. The moneyer's name and mint name appear in the surrounding legend, separated by pellets. The die-cutting reflects the hand-crafted variability characteristic of Anglo-Saxon hammered silver coinage. |
