1775 Counterfeit George III British Halfpenny, Coin Z Family. 154.6 grains.Very Fine, another example from this family, though from different dies than the above, and on a whopping thick planchet that actually weighs a bit more than a regal halfpenny! Well-struck, the legends, date, and design details all bold, the branch on the reverse showing berries, which ties it to the larger Georgius Triumpho Family, of which the Coin Z’s are a subset. Milk chocolate brown, the surfaces hard enough, with minimal marks on the obverse, a few more on the reverse, along with a very tiny patch of roughness above Britannia’s head. Pleasing to the eye, and remarkable for the robust planchet – which still afforded the counterfeiters a profit, albeit a much smaller one.
