Lot 51 – Wicklow Cronebane halfpenny – Unlisted?, A rare oddity.
18th Century Provincial Tokens of Ireland, Wicklow
Wicklow, Cronebane, Issuer Uncertain; DH Unlisted, halfpenny struck in copper, 3.88g , 25.6mm. A genuine oddity. Struck on a reduced and exceptionally thin button planchet. The obverse appears to be close to DH 39, 40 and 42bis with the reverse, undated, showing similarities to DH 37 and 40. On closer inspection, the obverse appears to have a circular countermark but is indistinct. The reverse gilded. Quite possibly unique . A rare oddity.
