| Obverse description | Central field features a small cross pattée within a raised inner circle, surrounded by an outer annular band bearing the royal legend in Latin. The inscription reads + EADVVIG REX, identifying the issuer as King Eadwig, arranged around the circumference between the inner ring and a beaded outer border. The lettering is rendered in the angular, somewhat irregular style characteristic of mid-tenth-century Anglo-Saxon hammered coinage. The coin is struck on an irregular flan typical of the period, with the design elements showing the hand-crafted quality of the die-engraver's work. The overall composition reflects the Three-line type convention, with the obverse focused on the royal name and title framing the central cross motif. |
