| 正面描述 | Facing crowned bust of Edward IV at centre, rendered in the typical late medieval Gothic style of hammered Irish coinage. The king is depicted full-face with flowing hair falling to either side, wearing an ornate crown with cross fleury at centre. The bust is set within an inner circle formed by a beaded border, with the surrounding field showing the characteristic irregular flan of a struck hammered groat. The circumferential Latin legend runs clockwise around the coin's periphery, separated from the central effigy by the beaded border. |

Edward IV's "light coinage" reform of 1460 reduced the weight standard for Irish silver in a deliberate attempt to curb the chronic outflow of coin to England, where heavier Irish pieces were being melted for profit. Drogheda operated as one of the principal Irish mints of the period, alongside Dublin and Waterford, though its output was substantially smaller. The cross-and-pellets reverse type is consistent across the Irish light coinage mints, but Drogheda pieces are distinguished by mint signature and are meaningfully scarcer than their Dublin counterparts.
Spink 6341 is among the more difficult attributions in late medieval Irish numismatics, with mint identification often depending on a single letter.
