<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 2561854, member: 22729&quot;]The older political pieces like this one are rare, Dplodocus. Most from this era are defacements, such as scratched out eyes, tooling to the portrait, heavy cut marks across the throat, etc. Some may simply be anti-monarchist, while others are related to the Irish/English conflict.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nearly none are as overtly anti-Catholic or anti-Protestant as this one, but the implications are there. Now contemporary pieces can be very much to the point, but are usually represented by acronyms. I&#039;ve seen &quot;F#@* the Pope&quot; (FTP), the Queen Mother (FTQM), the Queen (FTQ), and on and on. </p><p><br /></p><p>I do have one with a Union Jack struck across the Harp on an old Irish coin. I&#039;ll attach a pic of a few pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[ATTACH=full]552348[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]552349[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]552352[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
