Ireland 1685 James II Halfpenny
Offered is a pleasing example of the difficult, 4-year Irish Halfpenny issue, KM#92. Struck under the authority of Sir John Knox (Lord Mayor of Dublin), this piece represents the only regal issue for Ireland for James II. This example well above-average, retaining good detail despite some weakness of strike to the obverse, and being free of the perennial environmental damage found on coins of this type. A deep, mahogany patina rounds out this lovely piece.
