| Obverse description | Crowned facing bust of Henry VI within a tressure of Gothic arches, the king depicted in a stylised frontal effigy typical of Lancastrian hammered coinage. The crown features fleurs-de-lis and crosses, rendered in the angular style characteristic of the period. Rosettes and mascles are interspersed throughout the surrounding legend, serving as the principal diagnostic markers of this issue. The inner field is bounded by a beaded inner circle, with the legend running between the inner and outer circles. |
