| Obverse description | Left-facing crowned bust of a young figure, the effigy wearing an ornate Tudor-style crown decorated with fleurs-de-lis, a cross pattée, and foliate scrollwork. The hair is rendered in tight curls visible beneath the crown. The field is plain, and the legend I·SERVE appears in raised Latin letters along the lower rim beneath the truncation. |
