| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed and draped bust facing right, with a knotted wreath, the knot visible behind the head. A bird of prey perches upon the shoulder before the bust, its head turned to look back. The style is characteristic of early Anglo-Saxon secondary sceat coinage, with bold, slightly abstracted portraiture rendered in hammered relief. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A quadruped depicted in left profile, head turned back and upward with an alert, animalistic expression. The tail is raised and terminates in a trefoil ornament. The creature is shown rounding an angled stylised bush bearing berries and a prominent large bud at the apex, with clawed feet rendered in the field below. The design is executed in the vigorous, schematic style typical of Series K sceat reverse types. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Series K sceattas are attributed to Frisian or Frisian-adjacent production, circulating through the North Sea trading network that connected Dorestad with the east coast ports of England during the early eighth century. Type 42 is among the more obscure sub-types within the series, appearing in small numbers at productive sites like Reculver and the Thames estuary foreshore — findspot distribution being essentially the only tool numismatists have for tracing movement of these anonymous, uninscribed pieces.
At 0.77g, this example sits toward the lighter end of the weight range seen in later K-series production, consistent with a gradual debasement trend documented across sceat coinage broadly after around 730.
