| Obverse description | Crude draped bust facing right, rendered in a debased Anglo-Saxon style atop a pyramid-shaped neck, with a crown or diadem indicated above the head by a series of pellets and linear strokes. The surrounding field bears runic or pseudo-runic letters forming a partial legend, including the letters TVT, arranged around the bust. The style reflects the degenerate classicism characteristic of Series R sceatta production. |

| Reverse description | The Standard reverse type, featuring a central design composed of a cross-like or panel motif surrounded by geometric arrangements of pellets, lines, and dashes disposed symmetrically within a beaded border. This highly stylised design, typical of Series R sceats, likely derives from a degraded Roman or early Christian prototype. The field is filled with pellet groupings and short strokes arranged in a rigid, schematic pattern consistent with late Phase II sceat production. |
