| Obverse description | Central field displays a single royal crown with seven jewels, rendered in the characteristic early Stuart style. A double rose mintmark appears prominently in the field, serving as the identifying mark of the Richmond farthing issue. The Latin legend encircles the crown, reading in abbreviated form CARO D: G: MAG: BRI, referencing Charles I as King of Great Britain by divine right. The overall design is compact and simply executed, consistent with the small copper farthing format authorised under royal patent. |

| Reverse description | The central device depicts a scroll-fronted Irish harp surmounted by a royal crown bearing seven jewels, a design emblematic of the Stuart claim to the kingdom of Ireland. The harp strings are rendered in relief within the scroll-sided frame, characteristic of the Richmond farthing type. The abbreviated Latin legend encircles the central device, completing the full royal title begun on the obverse. The composition is typical of the small-format copper token farthings issued under royal patent during the reign of Charles I. |
