| Reverse description | The reverse displays a quartered royal coat of arms — the quarters bearing the fleurs-de-lis of France and the lions passant of England — enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the royal initials E and R flanking the shield on left and right respectively. The arms are rendered in the characteristic flat, linear style of hammered Elizabethan coinage. The encircling Latin legend naming the queen as ruler of England, France, and Ireland runs around the outer border. The overall strike is irregular and slightly off-center, typical of hand-hammered production of this period. |
