| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of King James II facing right, with long flowing hair falling over the shoulder. The king is portrayed in the baroque style typical of late Stuart coinage, wearing a laurel wreath. The legend encircles the effigy along the periphery, reading IACOBVS·II DEI·GRATIA, identifying the monarch by name and divine right. The field shows typical copper surface consistent with milled production of the period. |
