| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing crowned bust of James III in high relief, rendered in the characteristic flat, stylised manner of mid-fifteenth-century Scottish hammered coinage. The king is depicted wearing a crown with fleurs-de-lis and is shown full-face within a beaded inner circle. Floral or trefoil ornaments appear to either side of the bust, serving as decorative field elements. The surrounding legend, separated by stops, reads IACOBVS : 3 : D : GRA REX SCOTO, identifying the monarch as James III by the Grace of God, King of Scots. The coin exhibits the characteristic irregular flan and uneven strike typical of hammered silver issues of the period. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A long voided cross pattée divides the reverse into four quadrants, each filled with a floriated or trillium-type ornament composed of pellets and trefoil motifs, consistent with Scottish half-groat design of the Light coinage period. The cross extends to the inner beaded circle, with no central boss or pellet visible. The peripheral legend, reading DNS PTECT MS & LBERA VILLA : BERWICI, identifies the mint as Berwick and invokes divine protection, translating as 'God is my Defender and my Redeemer, Town of Berwick.' The flan is irregular and the strike uneven, as is typical of hammered coinage of this era. The overall design follows the standard formulaic reverse layout established for Scottish groats and half-groats of the fifteenth century. |
