Comment
This type exists with legends starting "GEORGIUS" (observed 1798) and "GEORGIVS" (observed 1813).Interesting fact
The ½ Penny coin from the Isle of Man, minted during the reign of George III (1798-1813), is interesting because it was made of copper, a metal that was widely used for coinage during that time period. However, it's worth noting that the use of copper in coinage was gradually phased out in the early 19th century due to the rising cost of copper and the introduction of new metals like bronze and cupro-nickel. This coin is a unique piece of history that showcases the evolution of coinage materials and the economic changes that occurred during that time.
