Hammer Price:
£130

George III (1760-1820), Restrike Pattern Halfpenny, 1799, bronzed (BMC 1260). Practically mint state (£120-150)

Peck classifies this coin as a restrike rather than a late Soho striking. The cataloguer is not convinced this is a Taylor restrike and perhaps can be best regarded as a “late late Soho”
