Beschrijving voorzijde Central field depicts a gibbet with a figure of a hanged man suspended from the crossbeam, oriented to the right, rendered in low relief against a plain field with minor ground detail and a small architectural element at lower right. The peripheral legend reads END OF PAIN, with the word END along the left border and PAIN along the right, and OF at the top, the text distributed radially around the design. The token border is formed by a prominent milled or engrailed edge dentilation. The composition alludes to the radical political themes promoted by Thomas Spence, referencing capital punishment as an end to the sufferings of the condemned.
