| Obverse description | Crude hammered farthing struck on an irregular planchet, exhibiting the heavily worn and poorly preserved surfaces typical of cut or quartered pennies of the Anglo-Norman Irish series. The obverse displays a rudimentary facing or profile head, characteristic of late 12th- to early 13th-century Irish issues, rendered in a rough, provincial style. A partial inscription in Latin appears in the field, reading '☩ C A' with additional letters obscured or lost to wear and flan clipping. The legend is fragmentary and the design elements are barely discernible due to the corroded and pitted surface. The overall style reflects the primitive coinage produced under the authority of John de Courcy in Ulster during his lordship. |
