Short History Struck in 1799 at Matthew Boulton’s pioneering Soho Mint in Birmingham, these early copper coins represent a turning point in numismatic history as some of the first ever produced using revolutionary steam-powered presses. The obverse features the laureate bust of King George III, while the reverse displays a beautifully detailed seated Britannia, symbolizing Britain's expanding maritime power during the Georgian era.
