| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylised, degenerate radiate bust facing left, rendered in a crude and angular manner characteristic of the Series D sceattas. The bust features a prominent triangular nose, an absent or vestigial eye, and a stepped or pyramidal neck treatment formed by linear incisions. Chevron motifs are positioned both before and behind the head, filling the field in a decorative but non-representational fashion. The design reflects the progressive abstraction of the classical imperial prototype, retaining only the ghost of a radiate crown. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Series D sceattas originate from Frisian trading networks centered on the Rhine delta, almost certainly struck at or near Dorestad — one of the most active emporia of the early medieval North Sea economy. The type circulated across a remarkably wide geographic arc, recovered archaeologically from Kent to the Dutch coastal zone, which reflects the intensity of cross-channel commerce during this period rather than any single issuing authority's reach.
Metcalf's die study across types 158–180 identified significant variation in flan preparation and silver fineness, suggesting multiple production episodes rather than a single sustained mint operation.
