[QUOTE="ARguy, post: 832700, member: 16047"]A few more tidbits: I'm not sure that it's even Irish. After all, it was found on the side of England that faces away from Ireland. But, my sense is that it is Irish and represents St Patrick. The seller thought that the reverse letters LF meant "Limerick Farthing". However, I can't be sure that the letters are really LF. And, aside from the 1690's Limerick issues, of which this isn't one, I don't know that I've ever heard of a Limerick coinage from that period. There is a record of some Irish towns under seige producing "coins" in leather and other materials, but no one knows what they looked like.[/QUOTE]
