Comerford Crown

The Comerford Crown or Ikerrin Crown is the name of a lost archaeological relic probably dating from the Bronze Age that was in the possession of the noble from its discovery in 1692 in Ireland, later removal from Ireland, and possible loss by that family while living in exile in France during the Reign of Terror (c. 1793). The crown weighed about five troy ounces (156 grams), and may have been melted down for its intrinsic value during the Reign of Terror. It is therefore generally considered to have been lost and probably melted down during the French Revolution.
