| Obverse description | A crown depicted with five jewels occupies the central field, with a pellet placed between the sceptre handles beneath. The legend commences at approximately 7 o'clock, introduced by a privy mark in the form of a cross patée. The obverse inscription 'CARO' is notably struck over an earlier 'IACO', providing evidence of the die's reuse from the preceding Jacobean issue. The surrounding legend reads in Latin, abbreviated as CARO D G MA BRI or CARO D G MAG BRI. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays an eagle-headed harp — on certain die varieties rendered with a hook-fronted form — featuring six strings in the central field. The crown surmounting the harp bears nine jewels. On select die combinations, a privy mark in the form of a cross patée appears at the close of the legend, followed by a stop. The surrounding Latin legend reads FRA ET HIB REX, identifying the king's claims to France and Ireland. |
