Description
1723 Hibernia Silver Farthing, SP65
M. 3.2-Bc.10, DEI.GRATIA.REX
1723 FARTH Hibernia Pattern Farthing, Silver SP65 PCGS. M.
3.2-Bc.10, W-12500, R.5. The purpose of the silver 1723
Hibernia farthing is unknown. William Wood, the maker, had already
secured his coinage patent the previous year. Perhaps he wanted a
small stock of silver examples for gifts. The die combination is
known only in silver, and a small cache of survivors emerged in
Europe during the early 1970s. The present sharply struck Gem
offers pleasing autumn-brown and navy-blue toning. Marks are
confined to delicate contact on the king's neck. Listed on page 44
of the 2016 Guide Book.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# F7HP, PCGS# 179, Greysheet# 39)
