About This Coin
Well-preserved copper coin found under large boulder. A large copper twopence coin featuring the face of King George III. This specific style of coin was only minted in 1797 and was made of copper instead of the usual silver. This caused the coin to be much larger than its twopence counterparts, which led to the coins being commonly known as a cartwheel.
