| Obverse lettering | IACO D*G. MAG BRIT or IACO D.G. MAG BRIT (Translation: James by the Grace of God [King] of Great Britain) |
| Reverse description | A crowned Irish harp is centrally placed within the field, rendered in the heraldic style typical of Jacobean coinage. At the commencement of the legend appears a fret, also known as the Harington Knot, serving as both a decorative and identifying privy mark for this issue. The surrounding Latin legend continues the obverse inscription, completing the full royal title of James I. The reverse, like the obverse, reflects the modest scale and hammered technique of this privately licensed copper farthing coinage. |
