Rev: tall cross on plinth with M to left and A to right, with partial legend, moneyer name uncertain. 3.61 grams. Near as struck, a little off centre and not fully struck up, small piercing at top. Exceedingly rare. Provenance Found near Salisbury, Wiltshire, UK; recorded with Early Medieval Corpus. Literature See EMC 2011.0256 (this coin).
