Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pistole (Ormonde money) ND (1646) coin from Ireland is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in the country. The coin was minted in 1646, during the Irish Confederate Wars, which lasted from 1641 to 1653.

Despite the turmoil, the coin remains a valuable and interesting piece of Irish history.
