Obverse lettering ✠ IOHANN S
(Translation: John)
Reverse description A voided double cross pattée, its limbs extending to the beaded inner circle, with a small annulet placed in each of the four angles formed by the cross arms, creating a symmetrical and decorative field composition typical of Anglo-Irish halfpenny coinage of the 'Dominus' issue. The design occupies the full flan within the beaded inner circle. The surrounding Latin legend reads WALTЄX ON KЄ, identifying the moneyer Walter and his place of operation at Kilkenny. A cross pattée precedes the legend as is conventional for the series. The reverse die is in keeping with the hammered, irregular style characteristic of this provincial mint.
