INCHIQUIN, LORD (Brit.). Vice-President of Munster, under Charles I. A series of undated obsidional money, issued in the early period of the "Irish Rebellion", is called after his name, " although he does not appear to have been in any way concerned with its issue, for at the time he was engaged in suppressing the rebellion in the south of Ireland." These coins consist of the gold Pistole (only two specimens known), silver Half-crown, Shilling, Ninepence (2 var.) ; Sixpence (2 var.), Groat (2 var.) and Threepence. Lord Inchiquin may have caused the issue of the Cork money, "Shillings and Sixpences in silver and Pennies in copper, during his short sojourn in that city in May 1647, " and, continues Mr. Grueber, "this attribution somewhat supports the tradition that money was coined there by his order.
