| Obverse description | The denomination mark 'V.S' (five shillings) is displayed centrally within a double circle, consisting of a thin inner circle and an outer beaded border. The field is plain, with no figural devices, reflecting the emergency nature of this issue struck during the Confederate Ireland crisis. The numeral and abbreviation are rendered in a simple punched style consistent with hammered emergency coinage practice. |
