| Reverse description | A crowned Irish harp occupies the central field, rendered in bold relief with clearly defined strings beneath a royal crown surmounted by a cross pattée. The circumferential legend in Latin capital letters completes the royal title, running around the beaded border and introduced by a privy mark. The harp, as the heraldic symbol of Ireland, is the principal charge and dominates the die area. The overall strike is characteristic of the coarse hammered workmanship typical of the Harrington patent farthing series. |
