| Obverse description | Laureate and draped first bust of King William III facing right, rendered in high relief with fine portraiture detail characteristic of the late 17th-century English milled coinage. The legend is disposed around the periphery, with the Exeter mint mark 'E' positioned below the truncation of the bust. The effigy displays the king in Roman style with a laurel wreath and draped shoulders. |
