| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central motif consisting of a cross formed of pellets enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with five pellets arranged within the circle. The four angles of the cross each bear a letter of the royal Mercian inscription. The design is characteristic of the non-portrait light coinage series issued under Offa, displaying the simple geometric and pelleted style typical of late 8th-century Anglo-Saxon minting practice. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central small cross pattée set within a beaded inner circle, with pellets occupying each angle of the inner cross. An outer cross composed of geometric ornamental shapes radiates beyond the inner circle, with Mercian letters placed in the angles between the outer cross arms. The overall layout reflects the highly stylised, symmetrical die-cutting characteristic of the Offa light coinage series, produced at Canterbury and London workshops during the 780s. |
