706
Charles II St Patrick farthing 1674.
Fine. This coin was struck in Dublin. The details of the issuer and of the
intended denomination are not precisely clear. Many of these coins were
transported to the American colonies (mainly by a Mark Newby) where
they circulated apparently as farthings, and many American
numismatists regard them as American coins. The brass plug in the
obverse is intentional and is designed to make the crown appear golden.
The legends are: FLOREAT REX - May the king flourish. QVIESCAT PLEBS -
May the people be calm. The obverse is commonly described as the
biblical King David playing a harp; and the reverse as St Patrick ridding
Ireland of the reptiles with Dublin’s St Patrick’s Cathedral in the
background. The reverse bears a striking similarity to the tokens of
Richard Grenwood of Dublin which also undated but of the general type
of late 1650s tokens. (Details fromwww.irishcoinage.com).
