| Obverse description | Equestrian effigy of James II facing left, depicted in armour astride a prancing horse, holding an upright sword in his right hand with a flowing cloak billowing behind him. The king's figure is rendered in a bold, somewhat crude style characteristic of emergency Gun Money coinage. A continuous Latin legend surrounds the central device within a beaded border, identifying the monarch by his royal titles. The field is plain, with the horse's hooves raised in a rearing posture above a simple ground line. |
