Dr. Smith on the Irish Coins of Henri/ the Seventh. 73 



curls ; the legend is henricvs di gracia rex ani ; reverse, sivitas dvblinie ; 

 the motto is blundered ; it weighs twenty-nine grains. Fig. 47 is of the same type, 

 but the legends on both sides are unintelligible ; it weighs twenty-seven grains. 



Simon's coin (PI. III. fig. 59) is identified with this type, by wanting the 

 tressure, and having the cross at each side of the crown ; but if the details of his 

 engraving are correct, the coin is very different from any I have seen. 



Fig. 48 is a very remarkable coin, it has a rose or cinquefoil at each side of 

 the crown, and also as a mint mark, the hair is in long full curls, and the bust is 

 concealed by drapery, resembling a cloak, henbic is all that remains of the legend ; 

 the reverse is altogether unintelligible, and it weighs only twenty-four grains. 



.The coin in Simon's third Plate (fig. 60) is of this type, and is represented 

 as being perfect in every respect ; it is much to be regretted that many of the 

 most curious coins which he possessed cannot now be discovered. 



The remaining coins in this division are chiefly distinguished by the absence 

 of the tressure round the head. The crown is open and very shallow — the hair 

 is in short, close curls, which stand out from the face — the shoulders are more 

 displayed than on any of the preceding coins, and are without drapery — and the 

 mint mark is a cross. The legend on the obverse, in its most perfect form, is, 

 henricvs di gracia rex aglie fr ; reverse, posvi devm adivtorivm, and in 

 the inner circle civitas dvblinie ; a few have sivitas ; the name of the city is 

 generally abridged, and several are blundered to an extreme degree; they weigh 

 from twenty-four to twenty-nine grains and a-half. 



No half-groats or pennies of this type are known, and Dublin is the only place 

 of mintage. 



The following list exhibits the legends of the most remarkable varieties :
