The abbreviated Latin legends translate as on the obverse "Edward by the Grace of God, King of England, Lord of Ireland "; and on the reverse "O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger" a Psalm from the Bible.

We note that PCGS have also graded 23 gold Half-Nobles from Edward III to Henry VI and none of those are as fine as a 65 grade, therefore this coin is the top of the population of 76 coins graded across both services at the time of writing.
