| Reverse description | Central field displays the Irish harp, surmounted by a royal crown, rendered in relief with clearly delineated strings — a heraldic device representing the Kingdom of Ireland as part of James I's composite monarchy. The harp is depicted in a simplified but recognisable style consistent with early Stuart coinage conventions. A surrounding Latin legend, continuing from the obverse, reads FRA. ET. HIB. REX, denoting James's claimed title as King of France and Ireland. The flan edges are irregular and the legend partially runs off the coin, characteristic of the hand-struck Harington farthing issues. |
