| Reverse description | Central device consisting of a lyre-shaped or tuning-fork-shaped object, a motif characteristic of this thrymsa type, enclosed within a double border composed of pellets forming a wreath or annular frame. Traces of a degraded Latin legend are visible around the periphery, though the inscription is largely illegible due to the degenerate state of the die engraving. The reverse field is otherwise plain. The overall style reflects the progressive abstraction of Roman and Byzantine reverse types common to mid-seventh-century Anglo-Saxon gold coinage. |
