| Obverse description | Facing bearded bust of Edward III, rendered in a bold, somewhat stylized Gothic manner characteristic of mid-14th-century Aquitainian coinage. The king is depicted full-faced with flowing hair and a prominent beard, set within a circular field. A peripheral legend in uncial Latin script encircles the portrait, reading CIVITAS BVRDEGALE, identifying the city of Bordeaux as the issuing mint. The die work is typical of hammered silver production, with irregular flan edges and uneven strike relief. |
