Cartwheel Twopence of George II (1797)

[HistoryTreasures 0]

Cartwheel Twopence of George II (1797). Largest circulation British coin at 56.7 grammes, the famous 'cartwheel' twopence minted at Matthew Boulton's SOHO mint in Birmingham using the new steam-powered printing machinery, this is a lovely example of a historical gem in copper. I think this is a good example, with 'SOHO' clearly legible at lower right on reverse and good detail in general. These were freqeuently dropped so virtually all that circulated have edge knocks (eks), the ones on this piece do not look too significant. I think this example shoud grade F+/Very Fine.
