... I bought this baby quite a while ago (it was a random purchase) ... yah, I admit that it has quite a small flan and is therefore missing quite a bit of the legend, but I still always find the toning and the general design quite attractive ... regardless, it is my only 16th-Century offering, so "enjoy" ...

This coin is from the 18th Century.


Wiki states that in 1797 Matthew Boulton was authorised by the government to strike copper pennies and twopences at his Soho Mint, in Birmingham. Penny coins had been silver up to this point & the time was not yet right for a token coinage. Therefore, the coins had to contain one or two pence worth of copper, i.e. they weighed one and two ounces each (penny — 28.3 grams, diameter 36 millimetres). The large size of the coins, combined with the thick rim where the inscription was punched into the metal, led to the coins being nicknamed Cartwheels.

Here is the Penny from my collection:

 

The 18th Century refers to the 100 years that lasted from 1701 through 1800. Therefore this coin dated 1800 might just slip in under the threshold.

In 1800 there was this new sovereign nation in North America named The United States of America. The new country manufactured dollars and other minor coins of silver. The new country also manufactured large denomination Gold coins as well as cent & half-cent coins in copper. This new country was trying to show the world that it was for real & here to stay (but the verdict is still out on that).
