| Reverse description | Royal arms of England displayed on a quartered shield at centre, showing the arms of France (fleurs-de-lis) and England (lions passant guardant) in alternating quarters. The shield is surmounted by a royal crown. The circumferential legend CIVITAS DVBLINIE runs around the coin within a beaded border, identifying Dublin as the mint city. The overall design is characteristic of the hammered billon coinage struck for Ireland under Edward VI using the Henry VIII obverse die. |
