Cannot find it anyplace. Does anyone have any idea where I can find info on it. I think it is either 1770 or 1779 it is definitely George III.

George III regal farthings of this early type were only issued dated 1771,3,4,5. The next issue in 1799 was a different design.

I think you have one of the many contemporary fakes.

What dia is it?
I reckon it will be a 1/2d with a dia of 30mm
1771,73-75 1/4d's are 24mm dia.

A contender for the 50c box I'm afraid.

As mentioned, could be a contemporary fake.
The font style and date are both different from that of an original.

Legitimate half penny 1770.
In this condition, no value.
