The coins were issued by King James II in exile in Ireland after he had been deposed by William and Mary. The coins are said to have been made from melted-down cannons or whatever metal the king's followers had to hand.

Are there 36 mariengroschen in a thaler? I noticed that it says 6 mariengroschen on the the obverse and 1/6 on the reverse.
