EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Halfpenny coin from 1795, featuring the obverse side. The copper coin, measuring 29.3x29.8 cm, is part of the collection at the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum, located within the University of Cambridge in the UK. With an additional weight detail of 10.02 g, this historical artifact offers a glimpse into British currency during the 18th century. The image depicts a beautifully crafted relief design on one side of the coin, showcasing intricate metalwork and attention to detail. The robed figure depicted on it represents a fable or symbolic motif that was common during this era. Surrounded by other coins and tokens in what appears to be a bundle held together with sticks, this photograph transports us back to an age when such currency played an essential role in daily transactions. With its milled edge and distinct Georgian style, this Halfpenny serves as both a testament to skilled craftsmanship and an invaluable piece of British monetary history. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every nuance of this remarkable artifact for our viewing pleasure through their fine art photography expertise.
