| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a small royal crown surmounting two crossed sceptres, distinguishing this Type 2 issue from the earlier type. The crowned sceptres device is centrally positioned within the inner circle, with the crown just breaking the circle at the top. A Latin legend surrounds the inner circle within the outer beaded border. On certain specimens, a fleur-de-lis (lis) privy mark appears on the obverse only, or on both sides, providing a key diagnostic feature for variety attribution. |

| Reverse description | A crowned Tudor rose occupies the central field, rendered with two distinct layers of petals — an inner set of closed petals surrounded by an outer row of open petals — surmounted by a royal crown. The design is contained within a beaded inner circle, with the remainder of the royal Latin title disposed around the central device. The overall style is characteristic of the small hammered farthings produced under royal patent during the reign of Charles I, with an irregular flan typical of the period. |
