The king is depicted bare-headed with naturalistic detail of the facial features and hair. A circular legend surrounds the effigy, incorporating the royal titles, denomination, and date.

| Reverse description | Faithful recreation of Thomas Simon's celebrated 1663 Petition Crown design, depicting a laureate and draped bust of King Charles II facing right in high relief. The king wears a laurel wreath and flowing robes, with long curling hair rendered in exquisite baroque detail. The bold Roman lettering of the legend arcs around the upper field, flanking the effigy. The engraver's signature 'Simon' appears in script below the bust truncation, referencing the original seventeenth-century masterwork that inspired this issue. |
