ormolu varnish (or molovarnish)

An imitation gold-varnish. E. H. Knight. ormonde (or'mund), n. One of certain Irish silver coins, collectively called Ormonde money, rudely struck, chiefly from plate, and i ued in July, 1643, by the authority of Charles I. Pieces of the value of 58., 28. 6d., 18., 6d. (figured in cut), 4d., 3d., IMG:content-1856.jpg:[blocks in formation] and 2d. were coined. The name is current among numismatists because these coins were formerly supposed to have been i ued during the Irish viceroyalty of the Duke of Ormonde; but the coins, though current during his term of office, were actually i ued before it.
