Coin Value ?

[Guest Donal Donnelly]

A friend has an English coin dated 1747 with the word HIBERNIA on one side with a harp ( indicating that it is an Irish coin as that is the latin name for Ireland) and on the other side an image of King George 11 with the words :- REX GEORGIOUS.

Has anyone any idea of its approximate value. He is not a coin collector and the coin itself is in need of cleaning.

I await some advice , thankou , DD

Dear Donal,

Yes it's certainly an Irish coin not an English coin, although at that time Ireland was completely 'British' so that explains the British King on the other side.

I'll need more info on the coin, especially the size to be of more help.

Thanks,

Chris Perkins
