This coin is authentic and Pre-Revolutionary War and coincides with Voce Populi and other Important coins of the period. Key Date, Collectible.
This represents a part of Colonial Coinage used here in America, and Great Britain. Due to the shortage of copper and general scarcity due to the Revolutionary War and population increases throughout the Colonies and the British Isles. Limited coins were produced from 1769-1775 (and then none until 1805-1807 none until his death in 1820) this led to creating of Non-Regal coins both with George III's likeness as well as Conder or Provincial Tokens also used here in the United States.
Scarcity of early coinage in America where denominations were used primarily from Great Britain but other colonizing nations as well, the value was in the material either copper or silver, so almost any country's currency would pass hands.
Kings and Queens of Great Britain:
William and Mary 1689-1702
Anne 1702-1714
George I 1714-1727
George II 1727-1760
George III 1760-1820
Historically important date during the colonization of America and our history.
