Great Britain – King George II – 1749 Halfpenny – Colonial America
A fascinating 1749 British copper Halfpenny from the reign of King George II (1727–1760). British copper coinage of this period circulated widely throughout the North American colonies, where British coins were an important part of everyday commerce before and around the time of the American Revolution.
The coin features the portrait of King George II on the obverse, with the traditional Britannia design on the reverse. Its connection to colonial circulation makes this an especially interesting piece for collectors of both British and early American colonial coinage.
