1/2 Penny Princeps Walliae - Delectat Rus

Descrizione del dritto	Draped bust of a male figure facing right, with laurel wreath or hair visible, occupying the central field. The portrait is rendered in a classical style typical of late 18th-century evasion token manufacture. A beaded inner border frames the design. The Latin legend PRINCEPS WALLIÆ (Prince of Wales) arcs around the upper periphery, referencing the title without depicting an officially sanctioned royal effigy.

Descrizione del rovescio	A crowned Irish harp occupies the central field, its strings clearly delineated in the die work. The harp is surmounted by a small crown, consistent with the heraldic device commonly employed on contemporary British copper coinage and its imitations. The Latin motto DELECTAT RUS (The countryside delights) is inscribed around the periphery, a phrase characteristic of the whimsical or deliberately evasive legends used on this class of token. A beaded border surrounds the entire design.
