| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Harold I facing left, rendered in the vigorous Anglo-Saxon hammered style typical of the period. The king's effigy displays a jewelled diadem and stylised drapery at the shoulder. A beaded inner circle frames the portrait, with the royal legend disposed around the field. The lettering is executed in the angular, somewhat crude Latin script characteristic of early 11th-century English coinage. |
