| Reverse description | A small cross pattée at the centre of the design, enclosed within a plain inner circle that divides the field from the surrounding legend. The moneyer's name is distributed around the inner circle in bold Anglo-Saxon lettering, following the standard two-line penny reverse formula of the period. The layout is typical of the Portrait type coinage struck under Eadred, with the legend reading outward from the central motif. The strike is moderately well-centred on an irregular hammered flan. |
