| Obverse description | Helmeted and cuirassed bust of Emperor Crispus facing right, rendered in a debased late antique style characteristic of early Anglo-Saxon coinage. The effigy displays a stylised helmet with pronounced crest, the facial features boldly struck with a large eye, prominent nose, and defined chin. A beaded inner border frames the bust, with a retrograde or garbled Latin legend distributed around the periphery. The die work reflects the transitional imitative character of the thrymsa series, derived from late Roman prototypes. |
