| Obverse description | Facing crowned royal portrait of Henry III, rendered in the new portrait style characteristic of class 8a, with a sceptre extending to the left of the effigy. The letter X in the legend is distinctively formed in the shape of a curule, serving as a diagnostic feature for this class. A beaded inner circle frames the design, with the royal legend disposed around the periphery of the flan. |
