EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Halfpenny coin from 1795, featuring an intricate reverse design. Created by the English School in the 18th century, this copper coin measures approximately 29.3x29.8 cm and is housed at the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge in the UK. The image captures every detail of this historical artifact, highlighting its relief and milled edge. The central focus lies on a beautifully crafted flying dove carrying an olive spray in its beak, symbolizing peace and harmony. The skilled craftsmanship of the Georgian era is evident in every element of this metalwork masterpiece. As we delve into British history through numismatics, we can appreciate how coins like these served as tokens of currency during that time period. This particular Halfpenny holds a weight of 10.02 grams and carries significant historical value. The artist behind this remarkable design remains unknown; however, their talent shines through generations as their work continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this piece for all to admire without any commercial use intended.
