| Reverse description | A crowned Irish harp occupies the central field, depicted with fine string detail and a female figure forming the fore-pillar, characteristic of 18th-century harp imagery derived from Irish coinage types. The legend HISPANIOLA arcs along the upper periphery in widely spaced capital letters, while the date 1736 is inscribed in the lower field beneath the harp. The flat, unadorned field surrounding the device gives the reverse a stark, functional appearance typical of privately produced plantation or emergency token coinage. |
