| Obverse description | Schematic facing radiate head rendered in low relief, with stylised facial features and multiple radiating lines emanating from the head to suggest rays or a crown, filling the entire field. The design is crudely executed in the typical formalised manner of cast lead trade tokens of this period (Powell Type 10). |
