    Description

    1775 King George III Authentic Colonial Copper, Revolutionary War Era Halfpenny, Nice Grade for type.
    Colonial USA, Collectible Era Coinage of the Revolutionary War.
    Strong coin. It has a lot going for it. Normally this portrait is associated with 1775 coinage. That’s what makes this coin particularly rare. Primary were regal versions that were melted to create the Non-Regal types. Several of my offerings are stand alone pieces that represent the type. This is one of them.
    Thank you for your consideration. Please see my other Colonial listings. Inquire if you have any special needs and I will do my best to find and list them for you.
    Best Regards,

    This represents a part of Colonial Coinage used here in America, and Great Britain this Hibernia or Irish coin was due to the shortage of copper and general scarcity due to the Revolutionary War and population increases throughout the Colonies and the British Isles. Limited coins were produced from 1769-1775 (and then none until 1805-1807 none until his death in 1820) this led to creating of Non-Regal coins both with George III's likeness as well as Conder or Provincial Tokens also used here in the United States.
    Scarcity of early coinage in America where denominations were used primarily from Great Britain but other colonizing nations as well, the value was in the material either copper or silver, so almost any country's currency would pass hands.
    Kings and Queens of Great Britain:
    William and Mary   1689-1702
    Anne                       1702-1714
    George I                  1714-1727
    George II                 1727-1760
    George III                1760-1820
    Historically important date during the colonization of America and our history.
    Thanks for your consideration.
