Gunmoney was a temporary currency introduced by James II as a means of funding his war during tough times. The coins were made from almost anything, but most commonly brass rather than the more traditional silver.
These coins are difficult to place a value on since they could be made from almost any metal, and they were made even smaller as times got tougher for James II.
Also, these coins are rather unique in having the month inscribed on them, which further complicates identifying them properly since the new year commenced in the middle of March, so you can have a March 1689 and a March 1690 coin minted a few days apart.
An Irish 1690 bronze Halfcrown (gunmoney)(James II), circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £30 to £500 GBP, depending on the many variations that may be evident on the coin.
I highly recommend that you visit a reputable coin dealer who will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin and a positive identification.
It should be noted that forgeries of these coins are known to exist.
