| Reverse description | The reverse displays a bold monogram occupying the central field, characteristic of the Londonia (London) type associated with the reign of Eadgar. The monogram, composed of interlocking angular letters forming the legend LONDONIA, is rendered in the typical late Anglo-Saxon style with straight strokes and pellet ornaments filling the interstices. A beaded border encircles the entire design. This monogram type is a hallmark of the London mint issues of the period and follows the conventions established under the reformed coinage of Edgar. |
