| Obverse script | Latin |
| Obverse lettering | C·R ·III·s (Translation: King Charles) |
| Reverse description | The reverse bears a bold horizontal abbreviated legend OBS CARL across the field, standing for Obsidio Carliolensis (Siege of Carlisle), crudely but forcefully struck in large capital letters. Below the legend, the date ·1645· is inscribed flanked by pellets, with a small six-petalled rosette centred beneath. A double arc or scroll device frames the inscriptions within the beaded border, the whole composition conveying the functional urgency of emergency siege coinage. |
