| Obverse description | Facing crowned bust of King Edward VI within a beaded inner circle, the young king depicted with a lightly bearded face and wearing a crown of arched form. The effigy is rendered in the conventional hammered style of the period, with minimal fine detail. The surrounding legend is partially visible along the irregular coin periphery, interrupted by the characteristic striking weakness common to this issue. |
