| Obverse description | A stylised leopard passant guardant facing left occupies the central field, rendered in the bold, schematic manner characteristic of Aquitanian hammered billon coinage. The beast is depicted with pellet detailing suggesting its mane and body markings, consistent with the heraldic tradition of the Plantagenet duchy. A partial circumscription in uncial Latin letters surrounds the central device within a beaded border, the legend reading EDVVARD` FILI` identifying Edward as son of the English king. The flan is irregular and slightly concave, as is typical of small hammered issues of this period. |
