This silver coin, minted in 1643, represents a four pence piece struck in Ormond, Ireland, during the reign of Charles I of England. It is a "noodmunt," a coin minted in times of crisis using whatever metal was available. The obverse features the royal crown, while the reverse displays the Roman numeral "IIII," signifying the value. This coin, a historical artifact housed at the Rijksmuseum, provides a tangible glimpse into the tumultuous period of English Civil War.
