| Obverse description | Laureate and draped first bust of King James II facing left, engraved by John Roettier, with long flowing curls falling to the shoulder. The king's effigy is rendered in the classical baroque style, with a prominent laurel wreath crowning the head. The Latin legend encircles the portrait along the rim, separated from the central effigy by a plain field. A finely milled border frames the entire obverse design. |
