| Beschrijving keerzijde | Square panel formed by a beaded or dotted border enclosing a central annulet or ring motif, flanked by a cross pattée or saltire to the upper left and additional pellets in the corners and field. The geometric arrangement is characteristic of the so-called 'porcupine' series derivatives and related Frisian sceat types. The design is executed in a schematic, abstract style with no legend present. The dotted square frame is well-defined relative to the irregular flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Franeker-type sceat belongs to a cluster of Frisian issues struck during the peak of North Sea trade, when Frisian merchants dominated commercial routes connecting the Rhine estuary to Anglo-Saxon England and Scandinavia. Dorestad was the economic engine behind much of this coinage, and the Franeker type is geographically associated with the Frisian terp settlement now beneath the modern Frisian town of that name — excavations there and at comparable sites have produced sceattas in concentrations that point to genuine local exchange rather than casual loss.
The series sits within the broader "porcupine" sceat tradition, though the Franeker variant carries distinctive die characteristics that distinguish it from the main Continental series.
