Reverse description Central field occupied by a bold geometric and interlace motif composed of angular runic letterforms arranged to spell PADA, the name of the moneyer, set within a runic legend. The design is organised around a small central annulet from which radiate stepped and cross-like elements, the whole enclosed within a beaded border. The runic characters are rendered in the distinctive angular Anglo-Saxon futhorc script, clearly legible despite the compressed flan. The composition is characteristic of the 'Pada' type thrymsa series, attributable to a single named moneyer active in the third quarter of the seventh century.
