| Beschrijving keerzijde | A voided cross potent extending to the beaded inner circle, dividing the reverse field into four quadrants, each containing a pellet or annulet ornament. The design is characteristic of the short-cross coinage tradition prevalent in the Anglo-Irish mints of the late 12th century. The surrounding legend, divided by the arms of the cross, identifies the moneyer and the mint city of Waterford. The lettering is set between the inner and outer beaded circles, with a cross pattee introducing the inscription. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
John held the Lordship of Ireland from 1177 under his father Henry II, and the DOMinus coinage — named for the DOMINUS legend used in place of a royal title — was struck to supply the Anglo-Norman settlements taking hold along the southeast coast. Waterford was among the earliest and most productive of the Irish mints under John's authority, its position as a Viking-founded port city making it the natural commercial hub for the new colonial administration.
The halfpenny denomination was cut from penny flans rather than struck as a purpose-made coin in many instances, which accounts for the irregular planchet shapes that survive across this type.
