| Obverse description | Central field features a large Irish harp with a crowned top, flanked on either side by a small crowned shield bearing the royal monogram 'h' (left) and 'R' (right), standing for Henricus Rex. The harp is rendered in a stylised medieval manner, with clearly delineated strings, and is set within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend in Gothic lettering reads the partial royal title referencing France and Ireland, separated by pellet stops. |
