| Obverse description | Right-facing laureate and draped bust of King Charles II occupying most of the field, with the Roman numeral denomination IIII appearing behind the head to the right. The effigy is rendered in high relief in the milled style introduced by the Roettier workshop. A continuous Latin legend runs around the periphery without an inner circle, lending the design an open, unframed character characteristic of the early milled English series. |

| Reverse description | A quartered coat of arms disposed over a short cross fleurée occupies the central field, displaying the arms of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland in the four quarters. The heraldic shield is rendered without an inner circle, consistent with the obverse design. A Latin legend encircles the composition at the periphery, expressing the monarch's motto of divine authority. The overall design is compact and well-centred, representative of the improved quality associated with the introduction of machinery coinage under the Restoration. |
