Beschrijving voorzijde Full-face crowned effigy of King Edward VI, characteristic of the Third Coinage (1550–1553), struck in the Tudor hammered tradition with a boldly rendered frontal portrait. A rose appears in the left field and the Roman numeral III denoting the denomination is positioned in the right field, flanking the bust. A beaded inner circle frames the effigy, while the royal legend in uncial Latin characters is distributed around the periphery between inner and outer beaded borders. The portrait, though compact on this small denomination, conveys the young king's features with the characteristic stylization of mid-Tudor engraving. The overall striking is characteristic of the fine silver (.925 standard) third coinage issues produced at the Tower Mint.

Beschrijving keerzijde A quartered royal shield of arms, displaying the fleurs-de-lis of France in the first and fourth quarters and the lions passant guardant of England in the second and third quarters, is superimposed upon a long cross fourchée that extends outward to the beaded inner circle, dividing the reverse field into four sections. The shield is rendered in the bold, slightly angular hammered style characteristic of mid-Tudor English silver coinage. The reverse legend in uncial Latin characters runs continuously around the periphery between the inner and outer beaded borders. The cross fourchée design is a distinctive feature of the Edward VI third coinage silver issues, providing both a decorative and functional element to the reverse composition.
