| Obverse description | Left-facing laureate and draped bust of King Charles I, wearing a crown, with the denomination XX (twenty shillings) visible in the field to the right of the effigy. A Latin legend encircles the bust within a beaded border, identifying the monarch as King of Great Britain, France, and Ireland. The portrait reflects the refined style characteristic of Nicholas Briot's milled coinage, with sharper detail and more regular execution than contemporary hammered issues. The mintmark appears at the beginning of the legend. |

| Reverse description | The quartered royal shield of arms, comprising the arms of England (three passant guardant lions), France (three fleurs-de-lis), and Ireland (a harp), surmounted by a royal crown, occupies the central field. The crowned royal cypher C R (Carolus Rex) flanks the shield to left and right, each initial itself crowned. A Latin legend encircles the design within a beaded border, proclaiming that kingdoms flourish through harmony. The heraldic execution is crisp and well-struck, consistent with Briot's superior milling technique. |
