About this coin
Obverse
The crown and crossed sceptres are surrounded by the royal title, with a privy device at the top.
Script: Latin
Lettering
IACO D G MAG BRIT
Translation
James, by the grace of God, of Great Britain.
Reverse
A crown stands over the harp. A second device appears near the start of the reverse legend.
Script: Latin
Lettering
FRA ET HIB REX
Translation
King of France and Ireland; continuation of the obverse title.
Mints and mintmarks
Issued by private patentees under royal authority; not ordinary Tower-mint silver or gold.
Engraver and mintmaster marks
Flower or fusil on both sides.
Identification and varieties
Undated royal patent tokens, valued at a quarter penny. Dates are approximate issue attributions, not inscribed years. Letter forms, punctuation and harp details vary. A privy mark is a control device, not necessarily a mint location. Counterfeits require separate identification; a matching mark alone does not authenticate a piece.
Measurements
Recorded weights and diameters describe specimens. Thin copper flans vary substantially.
