Isle of Man 1786 Halfpenny
Offered is a most appealing 1786 Halfpenny, issued for use on the IoM under the reign of King George III, CC#MG3HD-005, KM#8. Although ownership of Man had been transferred to the Crown in 1765, no issues for the island were made in the ensuing 2 decades. This changed when Lewis Pingo was charged with designing the 1786 coinage, struck by the Royal Mint. This handsome example retains good detail for the issue, and further benefits from a superb, deep-mahogany patina - a visually choice example.
