| Reversbeschreibung | A royal crown surmounts two crossed scepters displayed in saltire, the whole occupying the central field. The royal cypher 'I R' (Iacobus Rex) appears in the angles formed by the scepters, flanking the crossing point. The denomination in Roman numerals (VI) is placed above the crown, while the month of issue in cursive script appears below, identifying this as part of the emergency gun money coinage. The encircling legend records the king's titles and the date, with the year and regnal information completing the inscription. |

This is not the gun money coinage — that was brass and pewter. The silver sixpence of James II for Ireland belongs to a separate, shorter-lived effort to maintain a credible specie currency even as his military position in Ireland collapsed. By 1690, with William III's forces advancing and the Jacobite cause unraveling after the Boyne, silver production at the Dublin mint effectively ceased. Surviving examples in any condition are scarcer than their brass contemporaries, which were struck in enormous quantities precisely because the silver supply had already dried up.
