Commentary
Cette monnaie pose un problème. Aucune réduction au 1/144e de livre n’est connue pourtant, avec un poids de 2,27g, la monnaie correspond parfaitement à la moitié de la monnaie classique au 1/72e livre... De plus, la taille du coin utilisé semble beaucoup plus petite que les coins habituels (environ 18 millimètres). S’agit il d’un poids très léger ou d’une monnaie totalement inédite ?.
This coin poses a problem. No reduction to 1/144th of a pound is known, yet with a weight of 2.27g, the coin is perfectly half the size of the classic 1/72nd pound coin... In addition, the size of the die used seems much smaller than usual dies (about 18 millimeters). Is it a very light weight or a completely new coin?
