| Obverse description | Facing crowned portrait of King Edward I set within an inner beaded circle, with the effigy displaying a bifoliate crown bearing no intermediate jewels, characteristic of the Class 1a issue. The king's bust is rendered in a stylised, flat hammered manner typical of late 13th-century English coinage. A continuous Latin legend encircles the portrait between the inner beaded circle and the outer border. The lettering reads +ЄDWARDVS:RЄX, identifying the issuer as King Edward. |
