1701 halfpenny, IERTIVS obverse.

[Michael-Roo]

Here’s a recent find I thought I should share with the group.

1701 halfpenny with an obverse reading of IERTIVS for TERTIVS and, as far as I know, previously unrecorded. My initial, and obvious, thought was die fill on the crossbar of the T, but on closer inspection I see no evidence of a bar, and the letter is an exact match for the I in GVLIELMVS but not the second T in TERTIVS.

Great spot!

Anyone with a correctly spelt legend on William III obverses, please make yourselves known now. It seems easier to find an error than a correct legend in this time period. Yet another to add to the list.
