Portumna (Galway), Mortagh Canvan 1658 penny
Obv: :MO[RTAGH].CANVAN.OF , around linear inner circle, a scallop shell.
Rev: :P]ORTVMNA.INKEE[PER , around linear inner circle, (?) over 58 .
Previously unrecorded, the only known example. Weight: 1.50 grams.
The christian name is not certain, also the surname of the issuer has been interpreted as Ganvan, I feel its most likely to read Canvan, similar to the local family name Canavan. Worthy of more research.
Sold Nov 2015
A second example has been located and brought to my attention, 31st May 2023. So I have been able to update the description to:
The obvese legend now appears to be: :MORISH.CANVAN.OF , around linear inner circle, scallop shell.
Rev: :PORTVMNA.INKEEPER , around linear inner circle, D over? (large dot)1(large dot) over 58 .
