| Obverse description | Crowned facing bust of Henry VI within a cusped tressure of nine arches, with a lis at each cusp. The king is depicted with a stylized frontal visage characteristic of the Pinecone-mascle issue, wearing a crown with prominent fleurs-de-lis. The mintmark appears at 12 o'clock above the crown, serving as a privy mark identifying the emission period. The surrounding annulet legend is rendered in Gothic blackletter script with characteristic abbreviation marks. |

| Reverse description | A long cross pattée extending to the coin's edge, dividing the field into four quarters, each containing a trefoil of pellets — a diagnostic feature of the Leaf-trefoil issue. The mintmark appears at the beginning of the legend. The reverse design follows the standard Lancastrian groat format, with the cross providing a practical guide for detecting clipping. The legend identifies the mint of Calais in the characteristic abbreviated Gothic form. |
