The legends '16' and '40' appear flanking the shield to the left and right respectively, denoting the date of counterstamping, with the letters 'G' and 'LL' also present in the field. The reverse exhibits the characteristic uneven surface and irregular flan edges consistent with hammered silver coinage, set within a beaded circular border. |
