Title
George II halfpenny/whirligig
Description
English: A Post-Mediveal copper-alloy halfpenny of George II (1727 - 1760), dating to c.AD 1726 - 1760. The coin has been modified and has a serrated edge, it is perhaps an unfinished project and meant to be reused as whirligig or buzz disc/wheel. Usually whirligigs have two string holes in the centre and this coin does not.

A left facing bust is still visible on the obverse side of the coin, the reverse completely worn.
Diameter: 27 mm
Weight: 7g
