| Obverse description | A rampant lion facing right occupies the central field, rendered in the schematic, ornamental style characteristic of the Anarchy-period baronial issues. The beast stands above a row of fleurs-de-lis or crenellated base, with stars and annulets disposed decoratively in the surrounding field. The whole design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with an outer legend border bearing the issuer's name. The coin is struck on an irregular, clipped flan typical of hammered silver pennies of this period. |
