| Obverse description | Stylized bust of a king in right profile, rendered in the bold, schematic manner characteristic of early Anglo-Saxon gold coinage. The effigy displays a diademed or helmeted head with pronounced facial features including a large eye, aquiline nose, and curvilinear hair locks. To the left of the bust appears a runic or pseudo-letter symbol, and to the right a cross with a globus or orb motif, referencing royal and Christian authority. A dotted border frames the inner field, and a partial pseudo-Latin or degenerate legend runs along the outer periphery. |
