| Reverse description | The denomination expressed as the Roman numeral XII occupies the majority of the reverse field in large, boldly incuse characters. A small crown surmounts the numeral at the top, and a curved line frames the right portion of the field. A beaded or milled border runs along the coin's edge, consistent with the hammered technique employed for this Ormonde siege issue. The design is stark and functional, devoid of additional ornament, emphasising the coin's purely utilitarian emergency purpose. |
