| Obverse description | Crowned and draped bust of King James I facing right, wearing a Tudor-style crown with fleurs-de-lis and crosses pattée, and an elaborately decorated mantle visible at the shoulder. The effigy is rendered in the hammered style typical of early Stuart Irish coinage, with fine detail in the crown and collar. A beaded inner circle frames the portrait, with the Latin royal legend arranged around the periphery, partially visible due to the irregular flan. The portrait style reflects the work of the mint engravers active at the Dublin Mint during the second coinage period. |
