Reverse description A long cross pattée extends to the coin's edge, dividing the field into four quadrants each containing three pellets arranged in a triangular formation. Two concentric beaded circles are intersected by the cross, creating an inner and outer legend band. The design follows the standard late medieval Irish cross-and-pellets reverse type, with the mint name incorporated into the outer legend. The overall execution is characteristic of the Dublin mint's hammered production during Edward IV's light coinage period.
