Hammered Farthings: John as Lord of Ireland and King of England

John as Lord of Ireland and King of England (1199-1216)

John 'Lackland,' the youngest son of Henry II, was born in 1166. In 1177, while John was only 11 years old, his father made him Lord of Ireland. John was the first to order coins to be produced in Ireland of the same weight and fineness as those of England.

There are no existent records that exactly date the start of King John's Anglo-Irish coinage. One possibility is that it started at the time of King John's visit to Ireland in 1209. These Anglo-Irish farthings have a triangle surrounding the head of the king with a star in each angle on the obverse. The reverse has the moneyer's name around a triangle, a star in the centre. Identification of the dies used for this coinage is primarily achieved by: comparing the style of the king's head; the obverse legend; the reverse legend; and the orientation of the star within the reverse triangle. All these farthings were produced at 2 mints:

Dublin
Roberd Willem

Limerick
Willem Wace

Struck between c.1209 and 1211, there are over 120 known examples (including contemporary forgeries) of John as Lord "Rex" farthings. Contemporary forgeries are far more common than genuine coins.

Historical Context

In 1189, Henry II died and John's elder brother, Richard, became king. Shortly after this an unprecedented coinage of round halfpence and farthings was issued in Ireland; denominations that would not be struck in England for another 32 years. This coinage was limited to the production of halfpennies and farthings in Ireland, possibly an indication of John's inferior status as a Lord, while the King retained the privilege of coining pennies. These coins were struck to meet local needs and are rarely found outside Ireland...

From 1190 to around 1194, when an uprising caused a temporary cessation, this coinage was only struck in Dublin (i.e. 'first issue'). Dublin production was resumed later in 1194 (i.e. 'second issue') and continued until John became king in 1199. Additional production commenced at Waterford in c.1195, and in c.1197 production commenced in newly conquered Limerick, following the death of the King of Munster, Donal Mór O'Brien.

No farthings of John's Mascle Coinage were known until 1806, when several were discovered along with some Anglo-Irish halfpence of the same period. The farthings had the same moneyers names as found on some of the halfpence from this hoard.¹ Modern forgeries of these farthings occasionally appear on the market.

These REX coinage farthings are not to be confused with the Anglo-Irish 'mascle' farthings produced when John was Lord of Ireland, but not yet King of England.
