| Reverse description | A bold long cross pattée extends to the coin's inner border, dividing the reverse field into four quarters. Each angle formed by the arms of the cross contains three pellets arranged in a triangular grouping, a distinctive feature of this half-groschen type. An inner beaded circle frames the cross design, and a two-line Gothic uncial legend referencing Edward's lordship of Aquitaine and the doxology occupies the outer field. The overall execution is characteristic of hammered English continental coinage of the mid-fourteenth century. |
