| Obverse description | Facing crowned bust of King Edward III within a beaded inner circle, rendered in the bold, somewhat stylised manner characteristic of mid-14th-century English hammered coinage. The king's crown features prominent fleurs and the facial features, though crude by later standards, convey regal authority. A circular legend in uncial Latin letters surrounds the inner beaded circle. |
