Beschrijving voorzijde	Debased imitation of a late Roman imperial bust, helmeted and cuirassed, facing right, rendered in a highly stylised Anglo-Saxon manner. The effigy retains the general compositional outline of a Constantinian prototype but is substantially abstracted, with the facial features reduced to schematic forms. A degenerate Latin legend encircles the bust within a beaded border, the individual letters increasingly corrupted and non-meaningful. The overall treatment reflects the progressive departure from classical die-cutting conventions characteristic of the mid-seventh-century English gold series.

Beschrijving keerzijde	Central field occupied by a bold geometric and interlace motif composed of angular runic letterforms arranged to spell PADA, the name of the moneyer, set within a runic legend. The design is organised around a small central annulet from which radiate stepped and cross-like elements, the whole enclosed within a beaded border. The runic characters are rendered in the distinctive angular Anglo-Saxon futhorc script, clearly legible despite the compressed flan. The composition is characteristic of the 'Pada' type thrymsa series, attributable to a single named moneyer active in the third quarter of the seventh century.
