Ireland, James II Æ "Gunmoney" Sixpence. 1689. IACOBVS•II•DEI•GRATIA, laureate and draped bust left / MAG•BR•FRA•ET•HIB•REX, crossed swords through crown; year and denomination above, J-R across fields, month below. KM 93. 3.23g, 21mm, 12h.

Extremely Fine, especially for the issue. Rare.

Struck during the civil war from melted down guns, church bells and other metal objects due to the shortage of steel available, this type is often poorly struck in porous metal. This example is therefore in particularly fine condition.
