The words ANO DOM appear in the angles between the upper shields, flanking the English arms at the top, while the date 1690 is inscribed in the lower field between the Irish and French shields. The circumferential Latin legend CHRISTO · VICTORE · TRIVMPHO ANO DOM 1690 encircles the entire design within a beaded border, referencing the king's appeal to divine victory. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gun Money gets its name from the scrap metal James II ordered melted down to produce emergency coinage after William III's forces cut off conventional supply lines — old cannon, church bells, and broken brass were the primary sources. The standard circulation issues were struck in base metal, mostly brass and copper. This silver proof is a different animal entirely: almost certainly struck for presentation or documentation purposes, not for the rebel treasury funding James's campaign in Ireland.
The Jacobite mint operated at Dublin under desperate conditions through 1689–1690, and surviving silver strikings are rare enough that their exact intended recipients remain debated.
