Description
English: Copper alloy late 17th-century Irish copper-alloy 'gun money shilling' of James II, Dublin or Limerick mint, dated January 1689 AD (Seaby 6581M).

Obverse: IACOBVS DEI GRATIA; laureate and draped bust left.

Reverse: 1689 MAG BR FRA ET HIB REX: Crown over sceptres dividing JR, XXX above, May below.

These were official tokens issued in Ireland when James II was attempting to recover the English throne and were ultimately intended to be exchanged for silver coins of equivalent value. They were made from old cannon, bells and scrap metal. James failed in his attempt and the coins were never exchanged.
