| Reverse description | Reverse features a seated or standing female figure, likely a Hibernia-type personage, holding a harp, a motif commonly appropriated by evasion token makers from contemporary Irish regal coinage. The legend DELECTAT RUS, meaning 'the country delights,' is distributed around the periphery in Latin characters. The harp device is rendered in a crude, workmanlike style typical of evasion token dies of the period. The field shows significant porosity and green patination, with the legend partially legible on the surviving high points. |
