IRELAND: George I, 1714-1727, AE farthing, 1723, KM-25, Wood's Hibernia coinage, DEI GRATIA type, faint spots of porosity, VF. The saga of William Wood's coinage in America begins with its initial introduction into Ireland. Jonathan Swift, and other opponents of Wood's Hibernia coinage, laid the groundwork for the perspective that Wood's coins were rejected and failed to circulate in Ireland. After lackluster acceptance in Ireland, a large portion of the coinage was shipped over to the North American colonies for circulation there.
