Henry Frederick Howard, the Lord Maltravers is the name associated with this issue of Farthings in a joint patent with Sir Francis Crane who had held the previous patent with the Duchess of Richmond. The patent continued to be worth 100 marks a year (£66/13/4d), they called upon Nicholas Briot for a new design in the hope of eliminating the counterfeits.
