Your welcome. My gut reaction was June. It definitely looks like a four letter month i think. Try looking at it with a jewellers loupe or magnifying glass.1 point

June or Jan? They look similar, but the letter font can differ at times. Need to be certain.1 point

Hey now that you say that Stu and that i,ve seen your coins to compare, i can see the June staring me in the face with that J. I,m off for a look at the pdf now and brush up my knowledge on gun money. Thanks guys for all your help.1 point

If you go on google and type "Gunmoney and the Limerick mint pdf" You'll find a pdf by Gerard Rice. Its a good document for identifying which mint the coins where minted at which should be possible if you figure the month on your shilling . There was two mints one in Limerick & the other in Dublin.1 point

I've a few gunmoney pieces. A half crown , shilling & sixpence. Paid £40 for the half crown early this year & £44 for the shilling quite a few year's ago. The sixpence is holed. Great story behind the creation of this token coinage. The first letter on yours declan looks like a J. June or July ?

But I should have added, I was lucky to get it for that price, I would expect it to sell for more.1 point

December, can make out the first 2 letters on mine. I cant read anything on that shilling though to help. there were different fonts and styles used for the months though.1 point

No, I think it unlikely that yours is March, but I'm trying to find my images of the one I sold last year to check.1 point

Yours is a shilling. XII above the crown and sceptres = 12 pence. I can't quite make them out in your photo but the month of issue is indicated by the three letters below the crown and sceptres. You can see on my half crown (of thirty pence, hence XXX) the letters Oct.1 point

Don't know if its any help but I paid 40-something quid for this half crown last year.

Last year I sold a February 1689 shilling for £10.00 and a March 1690 shilling for £24.50. Both were in a slightly rougher condition than yours. It's worth noting that gun money for March 1690 is some of the rarest and for a very specific reason. At the time we used two calendars, full unification with the Gregorian calendar not coming until 1752. The legal New Year began on March 25th, so any coin minted for March 1690 had a validity of just eight days.1 point
