| Obverse description | Crude facing effigy of John as Lord of Ireland, depicted full-face with a diademed head rendered in the flat, stylized manner characteristic of late 12th-century Anglo-Irish hammered coinage. The portrait is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the facial features — including annular eyes, a broad nose, and a schematic mouth — boldly if crudely struck in high relief. The surrounding field carries the Latin legend identifying the issuer, interrupted by the beaded border. The overall style reflects the hand-engraved dies of the period, with irregular flan shape typical of hammered halfpence. |
