I have this coin that resembles the "seated Hibernia". It's dated 1723 and from what I read, appears to be one of the Martin 3-Bb Hibernia Farthing. The write-up by Mr. Gore states, "a variety of Nelson 7 and Breen 172. Called obverse 3 identified by reverse is the 1723 harp right version, identified as die B because there is no stop before H in the legend. Found in four subtypes based on the number of strings on the harp (9-12), subtype b has ten harp strings. Struck slightly off center. Also on the reverse above and to the right of the A in HIBERNIA at the rim there is a die crack that travels down through the 172 in the date from the 2 and continues to the top of the 3. On the obverse note that the initial G leans to the left." My coin fits this description perfectly. As you can see from the pictures there is a hole in the center. Have there been other coins like this one that also have the hole in the center?

I'm sure there are a few out there. Ex jewelry pieces come up for auction if the coin is rare enough.

It is a Woods farthing.
It has been destroyed by the hole.
Rather than explain chapter and verse google Woods copper coins.
