1797 Britannia copper 2 pence (1/2 groat). (12 pence=1 shilling, 20 shillings = 1 pound). It features a bust of King George III facing right. The Latin legend is around the circular border, with the surrounding legend:
'GEORGIUS III - D:G - REX.'
The central theme is an image of Britannia seated on a rock holding a trident (symbol of the sea) and the shield of Great Britain leaning at her left. A ship is sailing in the background to the viewers left.
This coin was a overreaction to the severe coin shortage that existed in England prior to this date.
This was only a one year issue! Coin will Ship in the Decorative Box In the Pictures.
The coin you see is the coin that you will get. Please use your own grading skills!
