Comment

Boulton produced these Pre-Production prototypes to deliver to Brickwood in 1793. Helped to secure the contract to produce the full production run.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1793 Bermuda Penny is that it was minted with a unique design that features a portrait of King George III on one side and a depiction of a ship on the other. This design was specifically created for the Bermudian penny and sets it apart from other coins minted during the same time period. Additionally, the use of bronze plated copper in the coin's production gives it a distinctive color and texture that is different from other coins made of solid copper or bronze.
