George III coin/token [решено]

5 сообщений
Hello,

Does anyone know what this is? I think it's bigger and heavier than a penny from this period and I can't figure out what it may be.

diameter: 35mm
weight: 26g
thickness: 2mm
metal: bronze or copper?


Twopence a week, and jam every other day!
It is a 1797 'cartwheel' penny or twopence from United Kingdom. Both had
the same design, with no denomination on, and only difference was the size.
36mm = 1 Penny = https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces947.html
41mm = 2 Pence = https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces1287.html

Yes, there's one with good details on this thread I posted about a counterstamped cartwheel twopence

What? Me Worry
So this is the famous cartwheel! I assumed the denomination just wore off, and wasn't sure what it could be since the year was gone. (Also I probably didn't measure it properly!)

Thank you so much for the help!

The twopenny coins are like paperweights, they weigh like 2 ounces
