| Reverse description | Central design featuring a long cross dividing the field into four quadrants, each containing a pair of curved serpentine or scroll motifs adorned with pellets, creating a symmetrical interlaced ornamental composition typical of Anglo-Scandinavian coinage of the period. A pellet is placed at the center of the cross intersection, and additional pellets accent the decorative elements within each quadrant. A beaded inner circle frames the central device, with the moneyer legend distributed around the outer field. A small cross or star mark is visible at the top of the legend. |
