<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moneyer12, post: 1604373, member: 28233&quot;]because the regal coinage of 1 penny had always been struck in silver from anglo saxon times to the stewarts, at the end of the 18th century the country&#039;s copper production was at it&#039;s height and for a couple of years merchants and towns had issued various tokens in the penny denomination. the government of the time decided to standardise the coinage of the copious token issues into a nationally circulating regal copper coinage which comprised of 1/4d, 1/2d, 1d, and the cartwheel 2d.</p><p>good luck in your quest mark, and don&#039;t forget the penny as a coin dates back some 1400 years to the early anglo saxon issues.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
