| 表面の説明 | Central shield of quartered arms — bearing the arms of France (fleurs-de-lis) and England (lions passant guardant) in alternate quarters — set within a beaded inner circle. A mintmark appears at the top of the field, above the shield. The surrounding Latin legend, separated by pellets and abbreviation marks, runs clockwise between the beaded inner circle and the coin's irregular hammered edge. |

Elizabeth I's Irish sixpences of 1601–1602 were struck at a moment of acute fiscal pressure, with the Nine Years' War consuming English treasury resources at a punishing rate. The billon composition — just a quarter silver — was a deliberate debasement, part of a broader policy of flooding Ireland with debased coin to finance the military campaign against Hugh O'Neill's forces. The Irish population understood exactly what was happening; contemporaries complained bitterly that the coin was worth far less than its face value.
The rebellion ended with O'Neill's surrender at Mellifont in March 1603, weeks after Elizabeth's death. By then the debased coinage had already done lasting damage to Irish commercial confidence.
