| Obverse description | Crowned and draped bust of King Charles II facing right, rendered in the late hammered style characteristic of the Interregnum restoration coinage. The king wears an arched crown with fleurs-de-lis and cross pattée finial. The Roman numeral III, denoting the denomination, appears to the right of the portrait in the field. A beaded inner circle frames the design, with the Latin royal legend disposed around the periphery. The mintmark Crown appears at the top of the legend, above the crown. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features the quartered royal arms of England within a plain shield, surmounted by an arched imperial crown. The four quarters display: England (three passant guardant lions) in the first and fourth quarters, Scotland (a rampant lion within a double tressure) in the second quarter, and Ireland (a harp) in the third quarter. The shield is set within a beaded inner circle, with the Latin motto legend encircling the periphery. The overall design follows the standard hammered heraldic convention of the early Restoration period. |
