Ireland, brass "gun money" half crown, James II, 1689 Oct. Sp-6579E; KM-95. 14.92 grams. AU with some surface corrosion, dark brown toning, overall a fine example of "gun money," supposedly struck on metal recovered from melted guns (cannons), although other items like church bells were also used, the coins dated monthly to allow for a gradual redemption for silver coins upon James II's victory, which never occurred. ($150-225)
