The Last Halfpenny Before Waterloo

The King George III Halfpenny has a story to tell.

Available today, you have the opportunity to own a halfpenny struck in copper and issued in either 1799, 1806 or 1807.

They are amongst the last halfpennies produced before the landmark Battle of Waterloo and the Great Recoinage Act of 1816.

Minted at the famed Soho Mint in Birmingham under industrialist Matthew Boulton, these halfpennies marked a turning point in coin production. Their creation followed years of sporadic minting, finally meeting the growing demand for small legal-tender change in Britain.

Key Features:

• Issued during King George III’s reign – a period of great transformation and global influence

• Struck in copper, with the King’s bust on the obverse and Britannia on the reverse

• Produced at the Soho Mint, a pioneering site in mechanised minting

• A genuine coin over two centuries old

• Your George III Halfpenny will arrive encapsulated in a custom presentation box with it's own Certificate of Authenticity

This is your opportunity to own an authentic British halfpenny from a defining historical era.

These coins represent not just monetary history, but a tangible connection to Britain’s industrial and imperial past.
