| Obverse description | Second crowned bust of Charles I facing left, wearing ruff and royal mantle, rendered in the hammered style typical of early Stuart coinage. The denomination mark appears in the field behind the royal effigy. A Latin legend encircles the bust, separated by pellet stops, identifying the monarch by name and title. The portrait is characteristic of the Tower Mint Group B series, with the king depicted in a relatively simple profile without armour. |

| Reverse description | Central device consisting of an oval quartered shield of royal arms, bearing the arms of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland in the four quarters. A mintmark appears above the shield — either a plume or a rose depending on the issue date — serving as a key diagnostic feature for cataloguing within the Group B series. The shield is surrounded by a Latin legend with pellet stops. The overall design is compact and typical of hammered silver penny production at the Tower Mint during this period. |
