NEWP Farthings

These undated Mary II Farthing Pattern / Medalets have been described as currency patterns (farthings), but it is now thought that they were medalets issued
by the new regime to legitimise Mary’s claim to the throne after the flight of her father, James II. Evidently, that would date them around the 1689 timeframe.

I got lucky and picked this one up for $10!

Here's another I've been waiting to arrive, and it came today. 1699 Farthing - (Date in exergue). Another nice addition to "Stubby's-$20-or-Less-Farthing-Collection" (ebay - $12.50)
That's probably it for the year. Cheers!
