| Obverse description | Left-facing draped bust of King Charles I set within an inner circle, with the mark of value (XII) positioned to the right of the effigy. The portrait is rendered in the refined style characteristic of the Third Coinage series, presenting the king in regal attire. The surrounding field carries the royal Latin legend. The inner circle serves as a border demarcating the central design from the peripheral inscription. |
