| Reversbeschreibung | A robed standing figure, identified as a saint or ecclesiastical personage, depicted frontally with head turned to the right, standing within or above a crescent-shaped boat or lunette. The figure is shown in a long garment and holds aloft two tall crosses, one in each hand, a motif strongly associated with early Christian devotional imagery on Anglo-Saxon sceats. The composition is boldly struck but schematic in execution, consistent with the hammered die-work of the Series J sceat tradition. The plain field surrounds the central device without additional legend on this side. |

Sceats of this type belong to the so-called "Secondary" series produced in the first half of the eighth century, when English silver coinage had fragmented into dozens of highly localised issues with no centralised authority behind them. The attribution "Monita Scorum" — roughly "money of the Scots" — was applied by early collectors and almost certainly misidentifies the actual production region, with modern scholarship placing many related types in Northumbria or the Frisian trading network rather than Scotland proper.
At under a gram, these pieces were already lightweight even by the debased standards of their moment.
