| Obverse description | Draped and crowned bust of King Edward IV facing right, holding a sceptre, rendered in relief with fine detail in the royal robes and arched crown. The legend encircles the effigy along the periphery within a dentilated border, commemorating the royal charter granted in 1465. The overall style is characteristic of late 18th-century English token engraving, combining historical portraiture with heraldic gravitas. |

| Reverse description | A crowned shield bearing a fortified castle or tower in the central field, with inscribed legends both within and upon the shield. The shield is surmounted by an open royal crown, and the surrounding circular legend names the Liberty of Havering-atte-Bower, Hornchurch, and Romford. The composition is enclosed within a dentilated border, typical of the Conder token series, with a small star or ornament at the base of the design. |
