| Obverse description | Crowned and mantled bust of King Charles I facing left occupies the central field, with the denomination numeral 'III' placed behind the head to the right. The royal effigy is rendered in the typical hammered style of the Civil War period provincial issues, with the crown and mantle details characteristic of York mint coinage. A Latin legend encircles the bust, invoking the king's full royal titles. The overall style reflects the provincial workmanship of the York mint, somewhat cruder in execution than contemporary Tower of London issues. |
