| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bold cross pattée occupies the central field, with a prominent annulet or pellet ornament placed within each of the four angles, a design derived from late Roman and Merovingian cross-type prototypes. Radiating lines or wedge-shaped elements extend outward from the cross toward the coin's border, imparting a sunburst or rayed appearance. A runic legend in the Elder Futhark encircles the entire design, reading the moneyer's name 'Pada'. A border of pellets frames the composition. The execution is vigorous but irregular, consistent with the hammered artisanal production of mid-seventh-century Anglo-Saxon thrymsas. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "Pada" thrymsa takes its name from the runic inscription read by early scholars as a moneyer's signature — though whether Pada was an individual craftsman, a workshop, or something else entirely remains unresolved. Type III is distinguished from earlier Pada issues by a degeneration in execution that mirrors the broader mid-seventh-century collapse in Anglo-Saxon gold coinage: shrinking flan size, declining gold content, and increasing reliance on electrum as Continental gold supplies dried up following disruption to Frankish trade networks.
By the 670s, the thrymsa series was essentially spent. The silver sceat would replace it within a generation.
