Reverse description The reverse displays the bold inscription PAX — meaning 'Peace' — written horizontally across the central field, bisected by two horizontal lines forming a distinctive panel device. This PAX type reverse is characteristic of Harold II's sole coin issue, struck during his brief reign in 1066. A beaded inner circle surrounds the central panel, with the moneyer and mint legend arranged in the outer field. The legend encircles the design within the coin's irregular hammered flan.
