| Obverse description | First laureate and draped bust of King Charles II facing right, rendered in high relief with flowing long curly hair extending to the shoulder and a classically draped mantle knotted at the chest. The effigy displays fine engraving characteristic of the early milled coinage, with a laurel wreath crowning the king's head. The circumferential Latin legend is divided on either side of the portrait, with CAROLVS·II· to the left and DEI·GRATIA to the right, all contained within an outer milled border. |
