The Woods Hibernia coin, struck in 1722, is a notable example of early Irish coinage and is often sought after by collectors. Known for its distinctive design featuring the figure of Hibernia, the coin was produced under the authority of William Wood, who was granted a patent to mint the coins for circulation in Ireland. These coins are typically made of silver and are valued for their historical significance as well as their relative scarcity in the collector market. The United States did not produce these coins, but collectors may find them appealing due to their connection to early colonial history and numismatic development.
