Title
Post-Medieval Coin or Medal of George III
Description
English: Copper alloy coin or medal. A promotional and commemorative milled coin or medal, if the former, a lightweight halfpenny; and probably marking the marriage of George to Queen Charlotte (1761). The queen bears a striking if fortuitous resemblance to Elizabeth II in this view.

Obverse inscription: LONG MAY THEY REIGN OVER A GREAT PEOPLE

Reverse description: A female figure seated left holding scales aloft; a shield propped to right; exergual line.

Reverse inscription: MEDALS & PROVINCIAL COINS
