Reverse description The reverse displays a three-line inscription arranged horizontally across the field, each line separated by rows of pellets or beads, a layout characteristic of early Anglo-Saxon ecclesiastical pennies. The lettering is bold and angular, struck in the hammered tradition with slight irregularity consistent with hand-produced dies of the period. The outer border is formed by a continuous beaded circle. The inscription references the archbishop's ecclesiastical title of Pontiff, affirming the issuing authority of the Archbishopric of Canterbury.
