| Obverse description | Facing crowned bust of King Henry III, depicted frontally with a sceptre held to the left. The crown features spurred band ends with a pelleted fleur ornament. The hair is rendered in two neat curls on each side with pellet details, and the beard is composed of pellets in the characteristic style of Class 2a Irish pennies. The entire royal effigy is enclosed within an incuse triangle, a distinctive feature of the Irish coinage of this period, with the Latin legend divided around the design. |

| Reverse description | A voided long cross extending to the coin's edge divides the reverse into four quadrants, each containing three pellets arranged in a triangular cluster. The cross arms are bold and well-defined, typical of mid-13th century Anglo-Irish hammered coinage, with the moneyer's legend in Latin distributed across the four quadrants separated by the cross. The overall design follows the standard reverse type of Henry III's Irish penny coinage, attributable to the Dublin mint. |
