Beschrijving voorzijde	Crude, stylized bust facing right, rendered in a debased barbaric manner derived from late Roman and Byzantine prototypes, with boldly rendered facial features and hair swept back in horizontal striations. A prominent beaded or striated halo encircles the head, functioning as the border of the design field. The overall execution is characteristic of early Anglo-Saxon die-cutting, with vigorous though technically rudimentary workmanship. The portrait retains the general compositional arrangement of its Continental and Roman antecedents while exhibiting distinctly insular stylistic traits.

Beschrijving keerzijde	Central design consisting of a plain cross with extended arms set within a beaded circle, dividing the inner field into four quadrants. The surrounding legend, rendered in blundered and garbled pseudo-Latin characters, is largely unintelligible and represents a degenerate imitation of Roman monetary inscriptions. The outer marginal inscription runs continuously around the coin's circumference in an irregular manner consistent with semi-literate or non-literate die engraving. A small cross or pellet motif appears above the central circle. The overall reverse composition reflects the London-derived thrymsa series, closely imitating Merovingian and late Roman tremissis prototypes.
