Description

1722 Hibernia Halfpenny, XF45
Rare Rocks Pattern, W-12650

1722 1/2 P Hibernia Halfpenny, Rocks on Right, M. 1.1-A.1, W-12650, R.7, XF45 NGC. Ex: Robinson, Long Island Collection. The rare Rocks variety is known in only one die pair, and is regarded as a pattern for the Hibernia series. The significance of the rock structure is unknown. The rich mahogany-brown surfaces are free from marks, although narrow planchet flaws (as issued) near the X in REX and Hibernia's left knee provide identifiers. The face of the harp angel and the leaves in the king's hair confirm brief service in commerce. It is remarkable that two examples are in the Long Island Collection, given that none other have appeared in a Heritage auction for more than four years. Listed on page 41 of the 2024 Guide Book.
