| Reverse description | Central bold equal-armed cross with expanded terminals occupying the inner field, surrounded by a pronounced beaded inner circle. Between the inner beaded circle and an outer beaded border, a series of large, angular pseudo-Latin or degenerate letter forms are arranged in a continuous legend, partly legible and partly retrograde, reflecting the debased epigraphy typical of late thrymsa coinage. The overall composition is symmetrical and strongly geometric, emphasizing the Christian cross motif as the dominant design element. Two small pellets flank the base of the cross within the inner field. |
