Obverse. The king seated on an elaborate gothic-type throne, replacing for the first time the Norman stool, and embellished with richly carved tracery, arcading, pinnacles and crockets; the monarch wears a low crown of three points, his long hair protruding beneath it; his cloak is fastened on his right shoulder; in his upraised left hand an orb is surmounted by a cross moline, in his right hand a sceptre held obliquely and topped by a dove; this, and the absence of a sword may signify the Peace with France. The monarch’s feet rest on two leopards couchant guardant on a projecting foot-board, its under-part ornamented by nine cinquefoils; to either side of throne, a leaping lion rampant.
