Undated St. Patrick's Farthing. Copper. Nothing under king. Extremely Fine. 106.6 gns. FLOREAT :REX:...Undated St. Patrick's Farthing. Copper. Nothing under king. Extremely Fine. 106.6 gns. FLOREAT :REX: obverse. QVIESCAT PLEBS reverse (punctuation unclear due to massive reverse rim cud at right). Toned on both sides in a dark brown. Full brass splash somewhat faded on the crown. Soft on the obverse at left due to the remarkably huge die cud which has formed on the right side of the reverse, covering part of B and all of S, part of the cathedral, below and extending to the top of the metropolitan cross. Slightly off center but without serious effect. It is interesting to note that some of the brass intended to cover the crown has actually migrated over to cover the denticles above it.

Ex New Netherlands Coin Company.
