| Beschrijving voorzijde | Within a beaded inner circle, a central motif of a cross formed by five pellets occupies the field, surrounded by a circumscribed royal legend. The design is characteristic of the Two-Line type coinage of the early Anglo-Saxon period, struck by hand with irregular flan edges typical of hammered silver pennies. The legend reads clockwise around the inner circle and is separated by cross stops. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Eadmund's reign ran from 939 to 946, cut short at 25 when he was stabbed to death at Pucklechurch by an exiled thief named Leofa during a feast of St. Augustine. The Rosette type belongs to this compressed window, struck across a network of moneyers at mints still adjusting to the political turbulence that followed Æthelstan's death — Eadmund spent much of his reign clawing back the Danelaw that had immediately re-fragmented upon his brother's passing.
Weight variation across surviving examples is considerable, reflecting the decentralized nature of Anglo-Saxon minting authority, where individual moneyers bore personal accountability for their output rather than any centralized assay system.
