| Obverse lettering | + REDVLF RE (Translation: King Redwulf.) |
| Reverse description | The reverse presents a small pellet cross at the centre of the field, formed by a central pellet with four short arms, surrounded by a circular legend naming the moneyer. The lettering is arranged peripherally around the central device in the customary Northumbrian styca format, with the moneyer's name rendered in degraded Latin script. The flan is irregular and slightly buckled, consistent with the base-metal alloy and primitive hammering techniques of mid-ninth-century Northumbrian production. The overall style reflects the debased and stylistically simplified coinage characteristic of this terminal phase of the Northumbrian monetary series. |
