The strike is sharp for the issue with some softness on George's...  more 82 1724 Wood's Hibernia Halfpenny. N.11. Stop after Date. Gem Uncirculated GEM UNC $3,250.00 118.6 gns.

D:GRA.REX obverse legend. Copper. Gem Uncirculated GEM UNC $18,000.00 79.1 gns. A really lovely example of this hybrid issue. The obverse bust is that seen on the Rosa Sine Spina issues.
