| Obverse description | Posthumous bust of Henry VIII in early London Tower style, depicted in semi-right facing profile. The effigy bears the aged, broad-faced likeness associated with late Henry VIII coinage, rendered in a crude hammered style characteristic of mid-16th century Irish issues. The Latin legend encircles the bust, invoking Henry VIII's titles as King of England, France, and Ireland. The coin was struck during the reign of Edward VI, yet retains the elder king's portrait as a continuation of the posthumous coinage series. |
