| Obverse description | Facing crowned bust of King Henry I, turned slightly to the right, with the right hand raising a sceptre over the shoulder and the left hand extended in a pointing gesture; two stars appear to the right of the effigy in the field. The portrait is rendered in the flat, stylised manner characteristic of early twelfth-century English hammered coinage. A beaded inner circle frames the design, with the legend disposed around the periphery. |
