Obverse description Facing crowned bust of King Edward I rendered in the characteristic Plantagenet hammered style, with the king depicted full-face wearing a large ornate crown bearing fleurs-de-lis. The royal effigy displays schematized facial features including wide-set eyes, a prominent nose, and a short beard, flanked by flowing hair or drapery at the shoulders. A beaded inner circle frames the bust, separating it from the surrounding peripheral legend. The uncial Latin legend reads + ЄDW R' ANGL' DNS hyB, identifying the sovereign as Edward, King of England and Lord of Ireland. The coin exhibits the slightly irregular flan shape typical of hand-hammered medieval silver coinage.
