| Reverse description | A crowned Irish harp occupies the central field, depicted with fine string detail and elegant scrolled forepillar, surmounted by a Tudor crown adorned with fleurs-de-lis and cross pattée. The harp device is set within a beaded inner border, with the three-word Latin motto legend arranged around the periphery. The reverse design is bold and well-struck for a hammered issue, with the harp serving as the traditional symbol of Ireland on the royal coinage. The overall composition is characteristic of James I's first Irish coinage series struck at the Tower Mint. |
