| Reverse description | Long cross pattée dividing the field into four quarters, each containing three pellets arranged in a triangular pattern, a standard reverse type for English and Irish medieval pennies of this era. The cross extends fully to the inner border, serving both as a decorative and practical element for coin-clipping detection. A partial circular legend in Gothic Latin script surrounds the design, referencing the city of Dublin as the place of issue. The inscription reads CIVI TAS DVBL InIE, identifying the mint as the Civitas Dublinie (City of Dublin). The flan is irregular and clipped, as is characteristic of hammered silver pennies of the period. |

| Additional information |
Edward IV's first reign saw a deliberate effort to stabilize Irish coinage after decades of debasement under Henry VI, though the Dublin mint's output remained chronically underweight by English standards. These pennies were struck during a narrow window before the 1463 recoinage reforms tightened control over Irish minting, making the full 1460–1463 range collectively scarce despite spanning multiple die pairings covered by Spink 6276–6280.
