Comments

House of Stuart (1603-49), Charles I (1625-49), Rose farthing, typ 4b (1636-43).

W 1636 r. Lord Maltravers i Sir Francis Crane otrzymali polecenie "stworzenia nowego rodzaju żetonu, który powinien mieć odrobinę mosiądzu pośrodku miedzi, aby odróżnić prawdziwe żetony od falsyfikatów". Harfa na rewersie została zastąpiona różą, stąd też monety te znane są jako "Rose farthings" i są ostatnimi wykonanymi w ramach patentu Karola I, który został zniesiony podczas bezkrólewia.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

House of Stuart (1603-49), Charles I (1625-49), Rose farthing, type 4b (1636-43).

In 1636, directions were given to Lord Maltravers and Sir Francis Crane “to make a new sort of farthing token which should have a little brass in the middle of the copper to distinguish the true farthings from forgeries.” The harp on the reverse was replaced by a rose, hence these pieces are known as the Rose farthings, and are the last made under the patent of Charles I, which was abolished during the interregnum.
