EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Halfpenny coin from 1795, with its reverse side on display. Created by an English School in the 18th century, this copper coin measures approximately 29.3x29.8 cm and is currently housed at the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge in the UK. The intricate design of this historic currency features a relief image of a flying dove carrying an olive spray in its beak. The symbolism behind this imagery represents peace and harmony, making it a powerful representation of the Georgian era. Manufactured with great attention to detail, this milled coin boasts impeccable craftsmanship that reflects British metalwork expertise during that time period. With a weight of 10.02 grams, it served as both a token and official currency for everyday transactions. The edge of the coin displays fine engravings by John Skidmore, adding to its aesthetic appeal and historical significance. This exquisite piece serves as a testament to England's rich numismatic heritage. As part of Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, this print allows art enthusiasts and history buffs alike to appreciate the beauty and cultural value embedded within ancient coins like these. It offers us a glimpse into our past while reminding us how far we have come in terms of monetary systems and artistic expression through metalwork.
