Obverse:

PHILIP ET MARIA D G REX ET REGINA ANG. Facing busts of Philip and Mary, crown dividing date below. 1554.

Reverse:

POSVIMVS DEVM ADIVTOREM NOSTRVM. Oval garnished shield with arms of Spain and England, crown dividing value mark VI above.

Fine, crease marks, weak on busts, rev better, well centred. Overall a nice example of this extremely rare issue seldom seen on the market.
