| Obverse description | Crude helmeted bust facing left in the Hiberno-Norse style, derived from Anglo-Saxon prototypes, with a prominent conical helmet rendered in a stylized radiating pattern suggesting cheekguards and a nasal. The bust is depicted in low relief with simplified facial features characteristic of Dublin imitative coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy within a beaded border, reading IHE REIX DIF LIN, a garbled rendering of a royal Dublin title. |
