| Obverse description | Within a plain inner circle and a beaded outer border, the royal cypher CR (Carolus Rex) is prominently displayed in the field, surmounted by a detailed Tudor crown with fleurs-de-lis and arched elements. The monogram is rendered in a bold, cursive hand characteristic of the period's emergency coinage, with no additional legend present. The overall design reflects the abbreviated, utilitarian nature of siege coinage struck under Royalist authority during the Irish Confederate Wars. |
