David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1610 Posts	Posted 11/28/2023 03:52 am Hi all, I have a 1797 Cartwheel penny that I'm uncertain as to the variety. Could anyone identify which type and possibly post an image showing the difference between the 2 types. I would rate the coin as F so hopefully not too toast for ID. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

The way to tell when the leaves in the wreath are worn is by the ribbon at the back of George's head. The outermost tip points down in the 10 leaf and outwards in the 11 leaf. See https://headsntails14.wordpress.com...ii-obverses/ for pictures and a more detailed description. By the way, this site is brilliant for the identification of all GB penny varieties.
