| Reverse description | A bold cross pattee with expanded arms dominates the central field, functioning as an orbis cruciger motif. Beneath the cross, three horizontal stepped lines represent a stylised representation of steps or a platform, evoking the Calvary or altar base type derived from Byzantine coinage. A sinuous serpentine figure or degraded inscription curves around the left side of the field. The flan edge is ragged and irregular, consistent with early Anglo-Saxon hammered gold coinage. |
