Description English halfpenny(?). All design elements overstruck on what is likely an English Halfpenny. Seller opines it may be from about 1800. I found no direct reference to any group known as the Loyal Ulster Men, but if they existed perhaps they were a forerunner of the Orange Order or Orange Association. See Note 12 in my report for further details. Purchased from Richard Gladdle / Banbure, Oxfordshire, UK. (Jl. 30, 2012) ($107).
