| Obverse description | Crowned bust of Queen Elizabeth I facing left, rendered in the crude hammered style typical of mid-16th century Irish coinage. The queen's effigy is depicted with a simple crown and minimal facial detail, characteristic of the Dublin mint's workmanship of this period. The bust is set within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend reads ELIZABETH:.D'.G'.A'F.ET'HIBERNIE.RE, abbreviated for her royal titles as Queen of England, France and Ireland. The flan shows irregular edges and slight weakness in strike, consistent with hammered silver coinage of the era. A small hole is visible near the center, indicating the coin was once mounted or worn as a pendant. |
