19th Century Flag: Green Ensign. A flag used by some Irish Merchant Shipping There is evidence that the Green Ensign, although never officially approved, had been used by some Irish ships since the 17th Century. The early versions use the emblem of the Irish Revenue a Mermaid Harp surmounted by a crown in gold. However the background should have been St. Patricks Blue rather than emerald green according to the authorities. In the 1830s The Western Yacht Club used the Green Ensign for a while. In some cases Irish vessels had this flag confiscated by authorities in harbours in Britain, Ireland and the West Indies according to some records. In 1872, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, in reply to the Admiralty, declared the use of the Green Ensign to be incorrect, and in support attached a well researched paper by Sir J. Barnard-Burke, Ulster King of Arms, supporting the choice of blue as the National Colour of Ireland. Thus the Harp is shewn as gold on blue in the Royal Standard, and indeed since the 1930s the same is the Standard of the President of the Republic of Ireland. A scarce and interesting flag. 45 by 82in., 112.5 by 205cm.

Charles II St Patrick farthing 1674. Fine. This coin was struck in Dublin. The details of the issuer and of the intended denomination are not precisely clear. Many of these coins were transported to the American colonies (mainly by a Mark Newby) where they circulated apparently as farthings, and many American numismatists regard them as American coins. The brass plug in the obverse is intentional and is designed to make the crown appear golden. The legends are: FLOREAT REX - May the king flourish. QVIESCAT PLEBS - May the people be calm. The obverse is commonly described as the biblical King David playing a harp; and the reverse as St Patrick ridding Ireland of the reptiles with Dublin`s St Patrick`s Cathedral in the background. The reverse bears a striking similarity to the tokens of Richard Grenwood of Dublin which also undated but of the general type of late 1650s tokens. (Details from www.irishcoinage.com).
