IRELAND. "Ormonde" Crown, ND (1643-44). Charles I. PCGS EF-45 Gold Shield. S-6544; KM-64. Evenly struck, and better in this respect than many seen. The obverse is just slightly off center, but the reverse is well aligned and the details are sharp for the issue. A noteworthy example of this distinctive and historic emergency issue.
Commonly called "Ormonde money" from James Butler (1610-88), first duke of Ormond and leader of Charles's army in Ireland.
