Early 1700's coin (I think)
I'm stumped on the ID of this coin I found a few weeks ago. The front looks similar to that of a Hibernia Halfpenny, but its slightly larger in size and the reverse doesn't show much resemblance at all. I'm still in the early stages of cleaning as there is still a good amount of encrusted dirt on both sides, but from what I can see, the front has the usual "GEORGIUS DEI GRATIA REX" that is found on Hibernia pennies. Hibernia coins also have a lady with a harp on the backside. This coin definitely has something different but I'm not sure what. I might be able to see the letters "HOSA AMA" on the bottom of of the reverse (top in my picture) but it's not very clear. Sorry for the poor picture quality! You guys have been awesome with help in the past which I greatly appreciate!
