| Obverse description | The Stanley heraldic crest occupies the central field: an eagle with wings displayed and head lowered, perched atop a swaddled infant (the 'eagle and child' device), the whole resting upon a cap of maintenance set on a coronet. The motto legend SANS · CHANGER arcs along the upper periphery, with the date 1733 positioned in the lower exergue. The design is rendered in bold relief with fine feather detail on the eagle, consistent with early eighteenth-century milled coinage engraving. |

| Reverse description | The triskelion of the Isle of Man — three armoured legs in spurs, conjoined at the centre and radiating symmetrically — dominates the central field. The initials I and D (for Iacobus Darbiensis, i.e. James Stanley, Earl of Derby) flank the upper two legs, while the fraction 1/2 appears below the central junction, denoting the half-penny denomination. The circumferential legend QUOCUNQUE · IECERIS · STABIT reads continuously around the border, separated by pellets, with the coin struck in coin alignment and framed by a milled rim. |
