About this coin
Obverse
A nine-jewel crown surmounts crossed sceptres. A privy device precedes the title at the top.
Script: Latin
Lettering
IACO D G MAG BRIT
Translation
James, by the grace of God, of Great Britain.
Reverse
A nine-jewel crown rests over the bird-headed harp, normally with five strings. No privy mark occurs on the reverse.
Script: Latin
Lettering
FRA ET HIB REX
Translation
King of France and Ireland; continuation of the obverse title.
Mints and mintmarks
Patent-token manufacture at the Token House, Moorgate, London.
Engraver and mintmaster marks
Obverse only: triangle, trefoil, mascle, Lombardic A, dagger, lion rampant, three lis, stirrup or fusil.
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.
