svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 04/05/2012 9:14 pm Agree with Peter, First of all it's a halfpenny. It looked like a George to me, and with facing left it would be George II. I checked just in case, another option would be Charles II, but his Britannia didn't have her hand on the spear that high. KG2 produced halfpennies 1729 - 1754 Report this Post to the Staff
