| Obverse description | Facing bust of King Stephen depicted in a crude, stylised manner characteristic of the Tealby coinage, wearing a crown with fleurs or ornamental points. The king holds a sceptre before him, rendered in low relief with bold, somewhat abstract lines. The portrait is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the royal legend partially visible around the periphery. The overall style reflects the artistic regression and monetary disruption of the Anarchy period, with irregular flan edges and uneven striking typical of hammered issues of this era. |
