Obverse DesignCrowned bust of King Henry III facing forward, often with a sceptre. Legend typically 'HENRICUS REX III' or similar variations.
Reverse DesignLong cross extending to the edge of the coin, dividing the legend into four quarters. Each quarter contains three pellets. The legend names the moneyer and the mint (e.g., 'WILLEM ON LVND'). This specific coin is identified as 'Long Cross type 3c', which refers to a particular stylistic variation of the bust and crown.
