Found along with the British half penny. Either 1734 or 35, I cant make up my mind. Either one, it's the oldest coin I've ever dug out the dirt.

Been rubbing it with olive oil and can barely make out a crown on the reverse. The bust has a skinny neck (compared to 1/2) and I think it's a man with a ponytail.

I've googled till I'm googly eyed :tongue3:.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Awesome, thank you.

A little over 20 minutes.... the knowledge on this site is great.

Now I'll go read up Irish half pennies, a first for me. An oldest and a first, dug within a few minutes of each other after a 2 hour skunk session. :hello2:
