| Reverse description | Plain diamond-shaped klippe flan with a beaded inner border following the rhombus outline. The field bears a three-line Latin inscription in capital letters: OBS in the upper portion, NEWARK E across the centre, and the date 1645 in the lower portion. The abbreviation OBS stands for obsessa (besieged), recording the Parliamentarian siege of Newark. The lettering is large and boldly punched, filling the available field with characteristic urgency of wartime emergency coinage. |
