3 Pence - Edward VI Henry VIII bust

正面描述	Facing bust of Henry VIII, crowned with an ornate crown, occupying the central field. The effigy is rendered in a crude, archaic hammered style typical of mid-Tudor Irish coinage, with the king shown in a frontal three-quarter portrait wearing a fur-trimmed or draped garment. The legend HENRIC'. 8 D'. G'. AG'. FR'. Z H'. REX encircles the bust within a beaded or tressured border, with pellet stops between abbreviated titulature.

附加信息	Edward VI inherited his father's debasement policy along with the throne, and Ireland bore the worst of it. The Irish mint at Dublin was used deliberately to absorb the most debased alloys — billon so degraded it barely qualified as silver — while the English public received marginally better coin. This piece was struck with a portrait of Henry VIII despite Edward VI being the reigning king, a cynical continuity meant to exploit lingering confidence in the previous reign's coinage among Irish users already accustomed to suspicion of the mint.
