Secure an incredible piece of 18th-century British history for your collection. This scarce pre-decimal copper halfpenny was struck 276 years ago during the reign of King George II at the historic Royal Mint within the Tower of London.
This specific coin features the "Old Head" (laureate and cuirassed) portrait of the King, engraved by John Sigismund Tanner, and displays the distinctive "GEORGIVS" spelling variety characteristic of the later years of this historic series. True Georgian-era copper pieces are highly sought after by world numismatists, local type set collectors, and enthusiasts of early British colonial-era coinage.
