| Obverse description | Central device of a pellet within a raised annulet, from which radiate lines extending toward the periphery in a spoke-like arrangement, evoking a stylised wheel or sun motif. The surrounding field carries the royal legend in debased Latin lettering. The design is characteristic of the degraded Anglo-Saxon hammered coinage of Northumbria, struck on an irregularly shaped flan with uneven surfaces typical of the period. |

| Reverse description | Central device of a pellet within a raised annulet, mirroring the obverse type, with radiating lines extending outward across the field in a wheel-like pattern. The surrounding legend names the moneyer responsible for the issue. The flan is irregularly shaped and the strike is typical of the roughly executed base-silver stycas produced in Northumbria during the early ninth century. |
