| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylized stag advancing to the right, rendered in the abstract, linear style characteristic of Northumbrian sceattas of the mid-eighth century. A cross is depicted on the stag's back beneath a curved tail, serving as a Christian symbol integrated into the zoomorphic design. Beneath the stag, a triquetra — a three-lobed interlace motif of Celtic-Insular artistic tradition — occupies the lower field. The overall composition reflects the fusion of Christian iconography and native decorative art typical of the Eadberht coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Eadberht ruled Northumbria from 737 to 758, consolidating secular power while his brother Ecgbert served as Archbishop of York — an unusually direct fusion of ecclesiastical and royal authority that almost certainly influenced coin production and iconographic choices. The triquetra, a symbol with deep roots in early Christian manuscript culture, appears on Northumbrian sceattas in ways that suggest deliberate coordination between the two brothers' administrations rather than incidental workshop decoration.
The "var." designation against Spink 847 is worth noting — die varieties within this series are numerous and not fully catalogued, and minor differences in the stag's rendering or cross placement can shift attribution significantly.
