Diseño: On the obverse we see King Henry III seated on a throne, crowned, and wearing his royal robes. In his right hand is a scepter, which passes under his arm. In his left, an orb or monde surmounted by a cross of four pellets. Under his feet there is a mosaic design. The inscription reads HENRICUS REX III. The reverse of the coin features a long cross, each limb bottoné, extending to the edges of the coin. A beaded circle divides the outer legend from the inner section, in which, in each of the interstices of the cross is found a five-petalled rose set between three small pellets. The legend states the minter and the town where the coin was made - "WILLEM ON LVND". Three characters form the legend appear in each quarter of the coin - and it takes careful examination of the coin to decode the legend as it appears "WIL LEM ONL VND". Some examples read "LVNDEN" o "LVNDE" en lugar de LVND. Willem was the King's Goldsmith, William of Gloucester or William Fitz Otho.
