Legends separated by rosettes on the obverse and by double saltire crosses on the reverse. Of the highest rarity and numismatic importance.
It may be a striking from a traveling mint, likely in Galicia following its invasion by John of Lancaster himself after his landing in La Coruña.
The obverse legend is inspired by Psalm LXXI “ad Salomonem”: “God grants your judgment to the King and your justice to the daughter of the king,” a clear allusion to John of Gaunt and his wife Constance, daughter of Peter I.
