    Description

    This coin is an example of an Irish Halfpenny of Charles II struck in 1683. This coin uses the small lettering style used from 1681-1684 as opposed to the larger lettering style used in 1680-1682 - note both styles occur for 1681 and 1682. The legends are clear with no blundering and read: (obverse) CAROLVS II DEI GRATIA (reverse) MAG BR FRA ET HIB REX Which translates/expands as Charles II by the grace of God King of Great Britain, France and Ireland
