| Obverse description | Facing crowned royal effigy depicted en face within an inner pearled circle. The bust is rendered in a stylized medieval manner characteristic of hammered sterlings of the period. The sovereign's crown is prominent, and the portrait is surrounded by the Latin legend contained between the inner and outer pearled circles forming the border. |

| Reverse description | A long pattée cross extending to the inner pearled circle, dividing the field into four quarters, each canton charged with a group of three pellets arranged in triangular formation. The cross arms separate the reverse legend, which is contained between two concentric pearled circles forming the border, following the standard sterling type of the period. |
