1723 Farth Hibernia DEI.GRATIA RB

Here is a 1723 Colonial Hibernia Farthing in Almost Uncirculated condition. The obverse features a right-facing bust of King George II with the legend "GEORGIUS. DEI. GRATIA. REX." The reverse features a left-facing seated figure playing the harp with the legend "HIBERNIA" and the date next to it. This is in the World Coins book as KM #25. William Wood's Hibernia coinage was intended for Ireland. Farthing & Half Penny were the only two denominations struck. Hibernia coins were unpopular in Ireland, so some of them were sent to the American colonies.
