| Obverse description | Enthroned effigy of King Edward III facing front beneath an elaborate Gothic canopy adorned with fleur-de-lys finials, rendered in the decorative style characteristic of 14th-century English coinage. The king holds a sceptre in his right hand and an orb in his left, symbols of royal authority. Two heraldic leopards flank the throne, one on each side of the monarch. A beaded inner circle frames the central design, with a Gothic circular legend occupying the outer border of the field. |

| Reverse description | An ornate floriated cross pattée is centred within a beaded inner circle, the arms of the cross terminating in trefoil and fleur-de-lys ornaments. The cross is set within a quatrefoil, with a crowned heraldic leopard passant guardant occupying each spandrel between the arms. A beaded border separates the central design from the outer Gothic circular legend, which runs along the full circumference of the coin. |
