Object type: COIN
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Nottinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy 'Gun Money' shilling of James II. These coins were issued in Ireland during the Williamite war of 1689 -1691, and were made from recycled metals, with the notion that they could be redeemed for face value after a Jacobite victory.
