Just picked this up for my World Coins Circulating in Early America set. I'll take a better picture when I get that white gunk removed from the edge.

The 1749 is the only date, both Farthing and Halfpenny, which was officially authorized to circulate in the colonies. The Mermaid carried 1/3rd of the entire mintage to the states. True Colonial.

Great looking coin!
I didn't know that. Will have to add it to the unending list of coins I want haha.
