| Obverse description | Facing crowned bust of King Stephen, rendered in the flat, schematic style characteristic of Civil War period hammered coinage. The king is depicted wearing a crown and holding a lis-tipped sceptre to the right of the bust. The effigy is executed in low relief with bold, somewhat crude linear detail typical of irregular Civil War issues. A circular legend surrounds the central bust within the beaded border. |
