1694 Halfpenny BRITANNI\A

Recommended Posts

I did post images of this one on an earlier thread a little while ago but, on the back of my recent thread regarding the 1673 no stops farthing and Scott's concerning the BRITA NIA halfpenny, I thought it might be worth putting them up again here.

Another rare and recognised early milled variety. Unbarred A's and the I over an inverted V? The few examples I've seen are in a grade comparable with my own coin. If any forum members also have one of these I'd love to see some photos.

Ta! :)

I found record of a beautiful example sold by DNW in 2008 for £750.

Surely the finest known?

Fascinating provenance....

E. Bramah (He wrote an early work on copper)

C. W. Peck (He wrote the last definitive work on copper along with the first major study of bronze)

A nice coin to have for that alone.
