| Beschrijving keerzijde | A plain, boldly rendered Greek cross occupies the centre of the flan, with a single pellet placed in each of the four angles formed by the arms of the cross. The cross arms are of equal length and relatively thick, consistent with the die-cutting conventions of Series D. Surrounding the cross is a loose arrangement of pseudo-epigraphic or degenerate letter-like symbols, imitating a legend but carrying no intelligible text, a common feature of uninscribed Anglo-Saxon sceattas of this series. The overall composition is symmetrical in intent, though the execution is characteristic of the irregular hammered coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Series D sceattas originate from Frisian trading networks centered on the Rhine delta, almost certainly struck at or near Dorestad — one of the most active emporia of the early medieval North Sea economy. The type circulated across a remarkably wide geographic arc, recovered archaeologically from Kent to the Dutch coastal zone, which reflects the intensity of cross-channel commerce during this period rather than any single issuing authority's reach.
Metcalf's die study across types 158–180 identified significant variation in flan preparation and silver fineness, suggesting multiple production episodes rather than a single sustained mint operation.
