| Obverse description | Facing crowned bust of Edward I in high relief, depicted with long flowing hair falling to either side of the face, set within a beaded inner circle. The king wears a trefoil-ornamented crown characteristic of the Class 5a Sterling type. The portrait is rendered in a bold, stylised medieval manner typical of late 13th-century English hammered coinage. A circular legend in uncial Latin characters surrounds the inner circle, separated by a beaded border from the coin's irregular outer edge. |

| Reverse description | Long cross pattée extending to the coin's edge, dividing the reverse field into four quadrants, each containing three pellets arranged in a triangular formation — a diagnostic feature of Class 5a Sterling pennies. A beaded inner circle frames the central cross design. The mint name appears in the surrounding legend, inscribed in uncial Latin characters between the inner beaded circle and the irregular hammered outer edge, with the word divisions marked by pellets. |
