Hi guys am

It is USA   km# 25 or #25a  or 23.1

WOOD'S HIBERNIA COINAGE
The type intended for Ireland had a seated figure with a harp on the reverse side and the word HIBERNJA. Denominations struck were halfpenny and farthing with dates 1722, 1723 and 1724. Hibernia coins were unpopular in Ireland, so many of them were sent to the American colonies.
That's awesome :) thanks alot ! I've been looking for American colonial coinage for a while now, I still want some evasion stuff aswell as the virginia one and some rosa Americana but it seems hard to come by !
Still can't find it on this catalAlogue tO mark it as part of my collection :S
Any idea where I would enter it ? USA their final destination ? Or Ireland ?
Krause has them entered under Ireland, since that was their intended use:

Just because you can't see it ... doesn't mean it isn't there - Anon.
