| 表面の説明 | Central device of an imperial crown surmounting two crossed sceptres, the whole set within a beaded inner circle. The royal title legend in Latin capital letters runs around the periphery, divided by the crossed sceptres into two arcs. A small cross pattée appears above the crown as a privy mark. The design is characteristic of the crudely-struck Harrington patent farthings of James I, struck by hammering on an irregular planchet. |

James I had no authority to issue copper coinage for Ireland under English law, so the solution was a royal patent granted to John Harington, 1st Baron Harington of Exton, in 1613 — a private monopoly that allowed farthing tokens to be produced under royal license rather than royal mint sanction. Harington died the same year the patent was granted, and control passed through several hands before ending with the Duke of Lennox. The arrangement was deeply unpopular; merchants resisted acceptance, and counterfeiters found the lightweight pieces trivially easy to replicate.
