| Obverse description | Crude plumed bird or stylized animal figure facing left, rendered in a debased Germanic art style typical of Frisian sceatta coinage. The design occupies the central field of the flan with characteristic shallow hammered relief. No legend or inscription present. The artistic execution reflects the abstracted zoomorphic iconography common to Series D sceats. |

| Reverse description | A bold voided cross with splayed arms dominates the central field, with a small pellet or annulet device positioned below the lower left quadrant. The design is struck in shallow relief on an irregularly shaped flan, consistent with hand-hammered Frisian sceat production of the early 8th century. No marginal legend or inscription is present. The cross motif is a characteristic reverse type of the Metcalf Series D classification. |
