Obverse description Central field bears a heraldic shield of St. George (cross of England), rendered in a plain, bold style within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend reads TRVTH ★ AND ★ PEACE ★ in Roman capitals, separated by five-pointed stars. The coin exhibits a milled or grained outer border characteristic of Thomas Simon's mid-seventeenth century pattern work. The overall design reflects the austere Republican aesthetic adopted during the Interregnum period.

Reverse description Central field displays a crowned shield bearing the Irish harp, engraved in fine detail with visible strings and a winged figure support, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The peripheral legend TRVTH ★ AND ★ PEACE ★ in Roman capitals with star separators mirrors the obverse inscription. A milled edge border frames the design. The harp shield device reflects the Commonwealth's incorporation of Ireland as a constituent territory, consistent with coinage policy of 1651.
