Obverse description A royal crown occupies the central field, set within a plain inner circle. The crown is depicted in a stylised form typical of early Stuart hammered coinage. The surrounding legend reads CAROLVS D:G MAG: BRIT, abbreviated from the full royal title, disposed around the circumference with a star as a stop at the top. The lettering is in a serif Roman style characteristic of Caroline regal farthings. The overall die work is bold but irregular, consistent with the hand-hammered production of this series.

Reverse description The reverse displays a Tudor double rose as the central device, shown with an inner bud and outer petals in relief, surmounted by a royal crown. The rose, a long-standing emblem of the English monarchy, is positioned within a plain inner circle. To the left of the rose, a small rectangular harp counterstamp is visible, serving as the brass wedge authentication mark embedded in this type. The outer legend FRAN: ET: HIB: REX, completing the royal title from the obverse, encircles the design, punctuated by star stops.
