| Reverse description | Four crowned cruciform shields bearing the arms of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland arranged in a cross pattern, with an ornate Garter star at the centre and interlinked C's in the four angles between the shields. The date 1666 is divided by the uppermost shield. The surrounding legend names the king's titles, and the entire composition displays the refined baroque engraving style characteristic of the early milled coinage of the Restoration. |
