| Beschrijving voorzijde | A linear saltire with pellet-tipped terminals is displayed at the centre of a beaded square standard, with a single pellet occupying each of the four angles formed between the saltire arms and the standard border. A tufa device appears above, while chevron motifs occupy the remaining sides of the standard. Diagonal lines extend from the corners of the standard toward the coin's periphery, completing the geometric composition. The design is uninscribed throughout, executed in the angular, abstract style characteristic of Series J sceatta coinage of the early eighth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Type 70 sceattas belong to the so-called "Secondary" series, produced after the initial high-silver issues of the late seventh century had given way to progressively debased billon fabric. The saltire-standard types cluster in the first half of the eighth century, a period when Anglo-Saxon England had no unified monetary authority — individual moneyers, monasteries, and regional powers all struck to their own commercial needs. Metcalf's die-linkage studies suggest relatively low production volumes for this specific type, and the lightweight fabric of surviving examples reflects the general silver drain affecting English coinage during this period.
