| Obverse description | Facing crowned bust of King Henry V in high medieval style, the king depicted full-face with hair falling to either side and a prominent open crown above. The bust occupies the central field within a beaded inner circle, rendered in the flat, stylized manner characteristic of early 15th-century English hammered coinage. A Latin legend in uncial lettering encircles the design, identifying the monarch as Henry King of England. |

| Reverse description | A voided long cross pattée divides the reverse field into four quadrants, each containing three pellets arranged in a triangular formation — a diagnostic feature of Class G pennies. The arms of the cross extend to a beaded inner circle, beyond which a Latin mint legend in uncial characters encircles the coin, identifying the place of striking as the city of York. The overall execution is typical of late Henrician hammered silver coinage produced at the York ecclesiastical mint. |
