Ireland. 'Gunmoney' Halfcrown, 1690 (May). S.6580B. James II, 1685-1691. Obverse: Bust of James II. Reverse: Crown and scepters. This is a particularly nice example of a crudely produced coin, with smooth surfaces and sharp detail. Gun money was an issue of coinage made by the forces of King James II during the conflict with William of Orange, in Ireland, between 1689 and 1691. The coins bore the date in months to allow a gradual replacement by silver coins when King James secured a victory. He never did! The term 'Gun money' comes from the belief that these were made from melted down guns, but many other brass objects were used including old church bells. NGC graded AU-55. Estimated Value $350 - 400.
