| Obverse description | Crude hammered effigy of King Henry VIII facing full-face, depicted with a broad bearded visage and wearing a crown. The bust fills most of the coin's field, rendered in the characteristically rough style of late Henrician hammered coinage. A beaded inner circle frames the portrait, with the abbreviated Latin legend disposed around the periphery in uncial lettering. The overall style reflects the debased third coinage production with simplified, bold die engraving. |
