(1663-1672) St. Patrick Farthing Breen-208, Griffee G1-2/1b R7 F12
Type with nothing below the king. Glossy chocolate blending to darker steel and olive brown in protected areas. Sharpness VF20 but there is a dull scratch in the field behind the king. Otherwise this piece is choice for a St. Patrick farthing. The brass splasher on the crown is toned. Griffee knew of only 5 examples of this variety, and the best of that group graded F-VF. Listed on page 38 in the 2023 "Redbook." Weight 95.9 grains.
