| Obverse description | Facing crowned bust of King Edward IV rendered in the medieval hammered style, with the king depicted full-face wearing a crown with fleurs and showing flowing hair at the sides. The face is rendered with stylized features typical of the period, including a prominent nose and simplified facial detail. A beaded inner circle frames the royal effigy, with the legend disposed around the periphery within a beaded border. The overall design is characteristic of the heavy coinage of the first reign, exhibiting the bold, slightly crude artistry associated with fifteenth-century English hammered silver pennies. |

| Reverse description | Long voided cross pattée extending to the coin's edge, dividing the field into four quadrants, each containing three pellets arranged in a triangular formation. A beaded inner circle intersects the cross arms, creating an inner and outer field typical of English medieval penny design. The mint name legend is divided by the cross arms and disposed around the circumference within a beaded border. The reverse follows the standard English penny reverse design established in earlier reigns, with the pellet arrangement serving as a distinctive feature of this issue. |
