| Obverse description | Left-facing crowned bust of Queen Mary I, depicted wearing a crown with visible cross finial and fleurs-de-lis, her hair arranged beneath the crown in period fashion. The effigy is rendered in the flat, linear hammered style typical of mid-Tudor coinage. A beaded inner circle frames the portrait, with the royal legend disposed around the periphery of the field. |
