Most Fullarton pieces, including all the silver and gold strikings, are restrikes by Matthew Young or W. J. Taylor. The originals are all in copper, and because there was doubt expressed at the time as to whether the Prince of Wales was authorized to sanction the use of the Royal Arms on coins, they were not put into circulation.
