| Obverse description | Draped bust of Sir Bevois facing right, with loosely curled hair, occupying the central field. The legend SR. BEVOIS SOUTHAMPTON curves around the periphery in Latin script. The portrait is rendered in a classical style typical of late 18th-century evasion tokens, with coarse die workmanship characteristic of the period. |

| Reverse description | A crowned Irish harp displayed centrally in the field, surmounted by a royal crown bearing a lion passant at its apex. The harp's forepillar is formed in the shape of a winged female figure. The legend NORTH WALES curves around the periphery, a deliberate evasion device combining Irish and Welsh references to circumvent the Coin Act. |
