| Reverse description | Central field dominated by the bold Londonia monogram, formed by the interlaced letters L, O, N, D, O, N, I, A rendered as a large geometric cipher occupying the majority of the flan. The monogram is constructed with angular, deeply cut strokes characteristic of Viking die engraving. Small quatrefoil or pellet-group ornaments appear above and below the monogram in the field, serving as decorative dividers. The outer legend LONDONIA encircles the design, referencing the mint or monetary authority of London, though this coin was struck in East Anglia as an imitative issue. The overall design is bold and striking despite its provincial execution. |
