| Reverse description | A crowned Irish harp is centrally positioned within a beaded inner circle, serving as the principal device of the reverse. The harp, a long-standing symbol of the Kingdom of Ireland, is rendered in the style typical of early Stuart coinage. A Latin legend encircles the design, drawn from Psalm 68, invoking divine authority. The overall composition is characteristic of hammered silver coinage of the period. |
