Description: | A copper alloy, Irish 'Gun Money' shilling of James II, dated May 1690. These were official tokens issued in Ireland when James was attempting to recover the English throne and and were ultimately intended to be exchanged for silver coins of equivalent value. They were made from old cannon, bells and scrap metal. James failed in his attempt and the coins were never exchanged.
