Bill,
That's a very nice one dated February 1689.

The ones dated July 1689 & July 1690 are extremely difficult to find.

Hi Aiden, It is a poor example. The Jacobite gun money is common here, I could get you a nice example for not big money

Keven,
The 'Gun Money' coins are catalogued very high in Krause,even for the ones as low as the Farthing & as high as the 1690 Crown.

I have been offered very few of them,but they command prices over NZ$100 each.
