1723/2 Wood's Hibernia Ireland 1/2 Half Penny George I Overdate Colonial Coin. This Halfpenny is part of a controversial issue of copper coins, struck between 1722 and 1724 by ironmaster William Wood (1671-1730). Wood's Irish coins feature a right-facing laureate portrait of George I with long curling hair, surrounded by an inscription that reads ‘GEORIGUS · DEI · GRATIA · REX ·'. The reverse shows the seated figure of Hibernia - the female personification of Ireland - with the Irish harp at her side and the word ‘HIBERNIA' and the date above. You will receive this coin.
