James I had no royal authority to issue copper farthings — the Crown's prerogative extended only to gold and silver coinage. The solution was a private patent, granted in 1613 to John Harington of Kelston, whose father had been a favourite of Elizabeth I. Harington paid handsomely for the privilege and recouped his investment by selling the tokens to merchants at a profit over face value.
The type 1b designation distinguishes a specific die arrangement within the first Harington patent series, before the patent passed to Lord Maltravers in 1625.
