Halve crown, noodmunt van Jacobus II, koning van Engeland, uit juni 1690 1690 - 1696

This half-crown coin, dated between 1690 and 1696, depicts King James II of England. The coin's obverse features a profile portrait of the king, while the reverse showcases the royal coat of arms. The coin, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fascinating artifact of English numismatics and a reminder of the reign of James II. The small hole punched in the coin suggests it was once used for something beyond currency.
