Halfpenny of George III
The images of this copper coin came in from a lady who wished to remain anonymous. It was found many years since by her nephew in a stream in the Derbyshire countryside and I was asked to provide a full ID.
I was told that the coin measures 1.1 inches in diameter. It is badly worn but on the obverse is a head and on the reverse the figure of Britannia. From its size and the remaining detail I can say that this is a halfpenny of George III and the date will be either 1806 or 1807. Â
This is one of the early 19th century copper coins most frequently found by detectorists. The second date turns up less frequently but both were struck in very large numbers
