Reverse description A bold voided long cross extends to the full rim of the coin, dividing the field into four quadrants. Each quadrant contains three pellets arranged in a triangular grouping, a design characteristic of the light coinage issue and a key diagnostic feature of this type. An inner beaded circle frames the central cross arrangement, with the pellets distributed symmetrically across all four quarters. The circumferential Latin legend, citing the Drogheda mint, is distributed across the four quadrants of the outer field, reading continuously around the coin.
