| Obverse description | Crowned and draped bust of Queen Elizabeth I facing left, wearing an elaborately ornamented dress with a beaded necklace and ruffled collar, her hair dressed beneath an open crown. The effigy is rendered in the bold, slightly stylised manner characteristic of mid-Tudor hammered coinage. A beaded inner circle frames the portrait, with the royal legend inscribed in Latin along the outer circumference. |
