G'day, it's still a piece of history that you can hold in your hand: more than 200 years old.

Most people think that they are pennys due to the size approx 30mm.
but that are in fact HALF PENNIES.they were stuck by Matthew Boulton

@goo5e1 depends on the condition but on E-BAY there's one for £6.50

well spotted meerchant1..... as a Dundonian I feel well ashamed, of this schoolboy error. It is indeed a "huppenny"
