| 裏面の説明 | A royal crown is depicted prominently at the centre of the field, flanked on either side by the royal cypher 'IR' (Iacobus Rex), with the numeral VI appearing above the crown indicating the denomination. The month of issue 'Jan.' is inscribed in script below the crown in the lower field, with the date 1689 incorporated into the surrounding legend. The peripheral legend MAG·BR·FRA·ET·HIB·REX encircles the design, and a beaded border frames the entire reverse. |

Gun Money takes its name from the melted-down cannons, church bells, and scrap brass James II's administration commandeered to strike emergency coinage after he landed in Ireland in 1689 to contest William III's claim to the throne. The coins were initially dated by month as well as year — an extraordinary measure intended to allow devaluation by royal decree if the gambit failed, so earlier-dated pieces could be retroactively assigned lower values.
The sixpence is among the smallest denominations in the Gun Money series, struck at the King's Mills on the River Poddle in Dublin. After the Jacobite defeat at the Boyne in July 1690, William's government officially demonetized the entire issue.
