DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 12/02/2015 03:18 am Its a cartwheel two pence... these are beasts of coins but not too uncommon over here, the hard part is to find one in nice condition. I bought this little lot a couple of years back, but I have seen some better ones on the forums... Report this Post to the Staff

The first colony was established in 1788 and UK coins were a means of exchange so it's quite possible that these cartwheels circulated as currency there, along with Spanish coins local exchange credit notes and bartering.

Alan Cutts Valued Member Australia 292 Posts	Posted 12/03/2015 01:41 am the first real copper minting in Australia didn't begin until 1910 and with two world wars in between it makes some low mint items very hard to get. Kind Regards Al Report this Post to the Staff
