Beresford-Jones, BNJ Vol. XXVII notes of this obverse die; 'The old Shrewsbury puncheons were set in a new die with a slightly smaller field, 32mm. The bust has been much better placed and shows a great improvement on the Shrewsbury pattern. It was used with the same reverses as Obverse I, and therefore probably overlapped with it for part of this period of three months. It was also used with one of the reverses of 1643.'
