| Reverse description | At centre, within a beaded inner circle, a crowned Tudor rose is depicted with a single layer of petals, characteristic of the Type 3 and Type 4 Rose farthing designs of Charles I. The royal crown sits prominently above the rose. The continuation of the royal Latin legend encircles the device outside the inner circle, with the legend reading FRAN : ET · HIB · REX (or FRA : ET · HIB · REX), completing the regnal title begun on the obverse. The overall treatment is typical of the small-format roller-milled copper coinage of the late Caroline period. |
