<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aidan Work, post: 100377, member: 1824&quot;]The William Wood coinage from Ireland is of interest to British Commonwealth coin collectors such as myself.I have got an example of a Farthing &amp; a Halfpenny.Has anyone read Jonathan Swift&#039;s &#039;Draper&#039;s Letters&#039;? It is this story that is connected to the Wood&#039;s Irish coinage,which was rejected by the Irish &amp; exported to the British colonies in America,where it would be in circulation along side the Rosa Americana coinage,which was also struck at William Wood&#039;s mint.If anyone has a copy of the pink Coincraft catalogue,it will have more information about the Wood&#039;s coinage from Ireland &amp; its connection to &#039;Draper&#039;s Letters&#039; in there.</p><p><br /></p><p>King George I ruled from 1714 until 1727.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aidan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
