| 表面の説明 |
Central device depicts the Stanley heraldic crest: an eagle with wings displayed, perched atop a swaddled infant (the 'Eagle and Child' crest of the Stanley family, Earls of Derby), all resting upon a cap of maintenance. The legend SANS · CHANGER, the Stanley family motto meaning 'Without Change', arcs around the upper field in relief lettering. The date 1733 appears in the lower exergual area beneath the central device. The overall style is characteristic of early eighteenth-century British milled coinage, with a milled border encircling the design. |
| 裏面の説明 |
Central field features the triskelion (triskeles) of the Isle of Man, the three armoured legs in a running arrangement, dividing the initials I, D, and 1, standing for 'Iacobus Darbiensis, 1 [Penny]', referencing James, Earl of Derby, the feudal Lord of Man. The surrounding legend reads QUOCUNQUE · IECERIS · STABIT, the motto of the Isle of Man meaning 'Wherever you throw it, it will stand'. The design is executed in crisp relief typical of early Georgian proof coinage, with a plain field and milled border. |
