George III 1797 'Cartwheel' Twopence

 (click to enlarge)

A great example of the iconic 'Cartwheel' copper twopence.

The largest base metal coin issued in the UK, it weighs two ounces, has a 41mm diameter and is 5mm thick.

Unsurprisingly, it proved too heavy for common use and was the last copper/bronze twopence to be struck for nearly 200 years.

We grade this coin as a good VF.
