Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1723-1724 George I Irish Farthing coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Ireland. The coin was issued as part of a new currency system introduced by the British government to address the lack of small denomination coins in circulation, which had led to a shortage of change and difficulties in trade. Despite the challenges of minting coins during this period, the 1723-1724 Farthing coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
