| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays a single horizontal line of text set between two parallel lines across the center of the flan, constituting the defining feature of the 'One Line' type. The moneyer's name HEREǷIG (Herewig) is inscribed in bold Anglo-Saxon letterforms incorporating the wynn character (Ƿ) within the central band. The upper and lower segments of the field are plain, with a beaded outer border encircling the entire design. The layout follows the standard Anglo-Saxon one-line reverse format, serving to identify the responsible moneyer as required by contemporary royal monetary legislation. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Eadwig's reign lasted barely four years before his nobles — fed up with his estrangement from Archbishop Oda and his political miscalculations — effectively partitioned England in 957, handing Mercia and Northumbria to his younger brother Edgar while Eadwig retained only Wessex. Coins struck in his name continued to be produced across both zones of this divided kingdom, which means attributing specific pieces to either side of that partition is rarely straightforward.
The "One Line" type is defined by its simplified inscription layout, one of several design phases cycled through his short reign as moneyers worked under shifting administrative arrangements.
