Reverse description Central device features an Irish harp surmounted by a royal crown, the harp rendered with clearly strung strings and a carved forepillar, characteristic of the Richmond issue type. The crowned harp occupies the majority of the field, surrounded by a beaded inner border. The abbreviated Latin legend continues around the periphery, completing the obverse royal titulature. The strike is typical of the period's privately produced copper farthing tokens, showing minor flatness consistent with the small module and hand-operated screw press.
