| Obverse description | Helmeted bust to right occupying the central field, rendered in a stylized early medieval manner with pellet detailing. A cross on a stand (crux on steps) is depicted before the face, while a chevron-barred letter A appears behind the head. The helmet is suggested by curved lines above the cranium, and a beaded border encircles the lower portion of the flan. The die-cutting reflects the degenerate classical tradition typical of mid-seventh-century Anglo-Saxon gold coinage. |
