| Reverse description | The central device comprises the royal cypher 'IR' surmounted by a large imperial crown with orb and cross, the numeral VI (denoting sixpence) appearing above the crown within the field. The month of issue, 'Jan', is inscribed below the crown, serving as the distinctive dating convention of the Gun Money coinage. The peripheral legend MAG·BR·FRA·ET·HIB·REX with the date 1689 runs around the coin, and a beaded border frames the entire design. |
