| Obverse description | Facing crowned bust of King Edward I within a beaded inner circle, the crown of trifoliate form with intermediate jewels between the points. The king's effigy is rendered in the schematic style characteristic of late 13th-century English hammered coinage, with stylized facial features and drapery indicated at the shoulders. A Latin legend in uncial script runs around the periphery between the inner and outer beaded borders. |

| Reverse description | A long cross pattée extending to the inner beaded circle divides the field into four quarters, each containing a trefoil of pellets arranged in triangular formation. The design is crisp and well-struck for a hammered farthing, with the pellets clearly defined. A Latin legend in uncial script naming the mint of issue runs between the inner and outer beaded borders around the circumference. |
