Obverse description Facing crowned bust of Edward I rendered in the characteristic linear style of late 13th-century English hammered coinage. The king's face is depicted frontally within a beaded inner circle, with a prominent crown featuring three fleurs-de-lis above a band. The neck is bare, and the facial features are boldly if crudely rendered — typical of class 6b dies — with the hair visible at the sides falling to the shoulders. A beaded outer border frames the composition, with the legend disposed evenly around the circumference.
