IRELAND: Wood's Hibernia Series, AE 1/2 penny, 1723, KM-117.2, a nice example, rare, VF-XF. Wood's Hibernia series consisted of copper farthing and halfpence bearing dates from 1722 to 1724 although minting did not begin until 1723. A notice in the London Post of January 14, 1723 stated that Wood "...hath erected a building in Phoenix Street, Brown's Graden, near the Seven Dials, for the [Rosa] American[a] coinage, and another in the city of Bristol for the Irish [Hibernia] coinage." William Wood was the owner of several copper and tin mines and hoped to make a profit producing coins for use in Ireland and America.
