george rex coin

[Guest helen]

I have had since childhood a small brown coin with georgious rex on one side and a deep rim, and britania 1721 on rear. Any information on it?

Hi Helen

It would seem you have a farthing or a halfpenny.

22/23mm dia = farthing

26/29mm dia = 1/2d.

I love the design of these coins.

There are loads of varieties(different die's) for this date....but 1721 is one of the most common dates found.
