Interesting fact
The 1737 George II Silver Proof Farthing from Ireland is a rare and unique coin, with only a small number minted. It's interesting to note that the coin was minted during a time when the farthing was not a widely used denomination in Ireland, making it an unusual and collectible piece. Additionally, the coin features a unique design, with a crowned portrait of King George II on one side and a harp on the other, symbolizing the country's rich history and culture.
