<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wyvern, post: 1873438, member: 42577&quot;]interesting coins but not very practical,made by matthew boulton in the soho Birmingham mint using james watts&nbsp; steam engine.the penny weighs one ounce the two pence two ounces.it was intended that shop keepers would use them as weights as well as money.it took boulton so long to complete his contract that although dated 1797 a lot were minted later.the order was not repeated so this is the only year of cartwheel coins.</p><p>nice examples shown[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
