| Obverse lettering | E DWAR` • DEI • G` • REX • AИGL` • Ƶ • FRAИC` • D • hy` (Translation: Edward by the Grace of God King of England and France Lord of Ireland) |
| Reverse description | An elaborate floriated cross occupies the full field, with fleurs-de-lis terminating each arm and a small crowned letter Є at the centre. The four quarters formed by the cross each contain a crowned passant lion, with a tiny fleur-de-lis appearing in the second quarter as a series identifier. The overall design is rendered with fine detail consistent with hammered gold coinage of the mid-fourteenth century. A continuous Latin legend in uncial script runs around the periphery, bearing a verse from Psalm 38 invoking divine mercy. |
