'As is typical with these issues from local dies, the legends are blundered, rendering positive identification of the mint and moneyer uncertain. The obverse legend appears to retain elements of Aethelred's types, but the 'cnvi denoportions of the legend, and the portrait style, clearly indicate Cnut (cf. Malmer obverse 738).'
