| Obverse description | A plain cross pattée occupies the central field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend, rendered in Gothic uncial script, runs continuously around the periphery reading the name and title of Henry, Count of Lancaster, followed by a devotional formula. The flan is irregular and slightly chipped, characteristic of hammered medieval coinage of the mid-fourteenth century. |
