EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Halfpenny coin from 1795, featuring the obverse side of the copper currency. Created by an English School artist in the 18th century, this remarkable piece measures 29.3x29.8 cm and is currently housed at the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge in the UK. The image provides a close-up view of this historical artifact, highlighting its intricate design and craftsmanship. The relief on the coin depicts a bundle of sticks tied together with a ribbon, symbolizing strength through unity. Surrounding this central motif are men dressed in robes, adding to the visual narrative presented by this Georgian-era token. With its milled edge and weight recorded as 10.02 g, this Halfpenny represents an important part of British monetary history during that time period. It serves as a testament to both skilled metalwork and John Skidmore's exceptional design skills. As we gaze upon this photograph print captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are transported back to an era where coins were not just pieces of currency but also storytellers conveying fables and allegories through their imagery. This particular Halfpenny stands as a tangible reminder of our rich numismatic heritage while offering us glimpses into England's past economic landscape.
