| Obverse description | Crude bust of King Eadgar (Edgar) facing right in the hammered Anglo-Saxon style, depicted with a diadem or fillet around the head. The portrait is rendered in a stylised, two-dimensional manner typical of late Anglo-Saxon coinage, with pellet or annulet detailing visible on the neck and face. The royal effigy is surrounded by a beaded inner circle. The legend + EADGAR REX runs around the periphery, identifying the king. The entire design is contained within a beaded border. |
