Context
House of Stuart (1603-49), James I (1603-25), Harington type 1b copper farthing token. Everson 1b 11-14; Peck 1b 39-45. Some have a tin wash. Privy marks are the central jewel of the crown on obverse: unmodified, trefoil, crescent and mullet. James I and Charles I farthings were considered tokens as they were not legal tender. Despite featuring a harp, Harington farthing tokens were not used in Ireland.
