| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed bust facing right, rendered in a stylised Anglo-Saxon manner with pellet-outlined drapery and facial features. The hair is indicated by a series of pellets or strokes along the crown, and the bust is surrounded by a beaded border. A partial retrograde or debased Latin legend incorporating the name VERNUS is arranged around the periphery of the flan, reflecting the coin's association with the 'Vernus' series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 'Vernus' group sits within the broader Secondary Sceat series, produced during a period when no single English authority controlled coinage — output was decentralized, minting likely occurring at multiple unidentified sites simultaneously. Metcalf's attribution to this group remains partly inferential, built on die-linkage studies rather than findspot certainty.
The name derives from a runic or pseudo-runic inscription read as VERNE or similar, whose meaning remains disputed — possibly a moneyer's name, possibly meaningless imitation of earlier literate prototypes as literacy among die-cutters declined.
