Penny and 2 Half Pennies

5 posts
Good day.
Any idea when these were issued? Stugling a bit with these pennies?
Thanks
Jannie


The bottom coin is Charles II, but without the diameter, I cannot tell whether half penny or penny. Compare to this:

Middle coin is George III, about 1799-1806

Top coin also appears to be George III.

​Thank you very much. Yes the smaller ones are half pennies.

Inferring from the shape of the Britannias, the second coin seems to be this Soho mint issue from 1799:

And the third is this other Soho issue from 1806-07:

The first coin is either a farthing or halfpenny (probably what halfdisme meant), since base metal British pennies weren't issued until 1797.
