| Obverse description | Left-facing draped bust of King Charles I set within a beaded inner circle, with the mark of value (VI) positioned to the right of the effigy in the field. The portrait is rendered in the formal regal style characteristic of Scottish issues of the Third Coinage, showing the king in armour with a lace collar. The peripheral legend in Latin is contained between the inner circle and the coin's rim. |
