I notice instead of Carolus, Charles is known as charles on the new coins another really big break from tradition.

heres a nice example of a halfpenny

Heres an interesting To hanover counter dated 1862 with diferent sizes of datal figures one is masive and the other quite small - I imagine they were made by the same manufacturer.
-
The 1844 dated coins were almost certainly specially minted to present as a alternative to the then circulating change , it would be fair to imagine the were given away to lobyists , MP's and various others including the mint ,Probably as many as fourty were issued for this purpose , though it could be a lot lower than that . Many have been lost and only less than twelve are known now

Yes peter stood out on here always up for a laugh he did have two lovely daughters and a dog who he was very fond of , I surpose his daughters own his collection now but who knows. He always had time for everyone on here and his advice to me is sorely missed at least by me . RIP peter

Looks like that coin could do with a going over with a tooth pick

David magnay was a big fan of model coins though it was not his only interest - I have a letter from him in the early eighties thanking me for discovering a couple of pieces he had never seen . I am sure his collection was sold long ago. I think I got his address out of coin monthly

That might be true
