Obverse description Facing crowned effigy of King Edward I set within an inner beaded circle, with the legend encircling the portrait in the outer field. The crown features pellets at the tips, and the drapery beneath the bust is rendered as a segment of a circle, a diagnostic feature of class 3b. Crescent-shaped contraction marks appear within the legend, and the lettering is executed in uncial script. The portrait displays a stylized, frontal regal character typical of late 13th-century English hammered coinage.
Obverse script Latin (uncial)
