Description

(1724) Hibernia Farthing, Specimen 6
Rare Orb and Scepter Pattern, M. 4.1-F.1

(1724) Hibernia Farthing, DEI GRATIA, M. 4.1-F.1, R.7, Specimen 6 PCGS. This pattern rarity is well-worn, either from circulation or from long-term use as a pocket piece. The obverse legend GEORGIUS DEI GRA frames a bust of King George I facing right. The seated figure of Britannia faces left on the reverse, holding an orb in the right hand and a scepter in the left hand. Perhaps just half-a-dozen of these patterns exist today. Several others are lightly worn, but not nearly as much as this intriguing piece that should prove affordable for budget-minded Hibernia specialists.
