Undated Counterfeit British Halfpenny, Obverse Brockage, Coin Z Family. 113.4 grains.Fine or a bit better, the legend full on the struck side save the E of REX which is lost to a small dent, with a few other dents around the tip of the bust, as well as a few other marks from circulation. Medium brown, cleanly worn, the brockage side occasionally showing more detail than the struck one. The Coin Z Family, named because an example was illustrated in C. Wilson Peck’s work on British coins as one of four counterfeits (with plate numbers W, X, Y, and Z), is related to the Georgius Triumpho family, but is distinct enough to be handled as its own family; the somewhat stern king with a double chin is an easy pick up point for this family, which should be published in the second volume of the counterfeit series.From the 2003 C4 Convention sale, where this was Lot 592.
