| Reverse description | The reverse of this hammered silver farthing presents an equally worn and fragmentary design on an irregular, clipped planchet. A crude cross pattée or short cross design is partially visible at the centre of the field, consistent with the cross-type reverses common to Anglo-Norman Irish coinage of the period. The quarters formed by the cross arms appear largely plain or carry indistinct pellets or annulets, though surface corrosion renders these details uncertain. The surrounding area shows traces of a beaded or rope border, heavily degraded. The piece is typical of the extremely rare and crudely executed farthings attributed to the lordship of Ulster under John de Courcy. |
