| Obverse description | Facing crowned bust of King Henry IV with a notably elongated neck, rendered in the crude hammered style characteristic of the heavy coinage issue. The king wears a large open crown with fleurs, and the effigy is depicted with a broad, stylized face within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend is arranged in uncial Gothic script. The overall execution reflects the transitional artistic conventions of late 14th- to early 15th-century English coinage. |
