Description: | A very worn royal farthing token of Charles I (1625-1649 AD). Richmond "rounds" type (North Type 1), of uncertain exact parallel, minted between 1625-1634. Obverse depicts a crown with two sceptres in saltire; legend reads: IACO D G MAG BRIT instead of CARO D G MAG BRIT; it is impossible to see whether there are stops or marks. The reverse depicts a single-arched crowned harp with no inner circles or initial marks; the legend reads: FRA ET HIB REX. Cf. North 1991 Vol II, p164, Type 1, probably No. 2275(a).
