I found this Irish King George Halfpenny, in a coin shop's foreign coin bucket. I have found coins from 1735 (Chinese), through 2010. But the oldest coins in there, that are not chinese, are from the late 1800's. All coins in there cost $.25. Today I found a very worn Irish King George Halfpenny, with a harp on the reverse. The problem is that it is very worn, so I can not tell if that is King George II, or the III. I know it is not King George IV. The reverse says, "...B...IA" the letters in "HIBERNIA", and the part that annoys me is that a tiny piece of the last digit of the date is there, but the rest is gone. I can see the details, and words better in hand, than photo. The Obverse has "...gius (Part of Georgius)", and "REX").
