Geo. III 1/ & 6d (18 pence)

I kind of took a liking to these, and it's a series that can still be completed in high grade for very little money. They were minted from 1811-1816 in two types, one with the older style curraissed bust, and the more modern bust similar to the new coinage of 1816. These were semi-official tokens issued by the Bank of England due to the lack of any silver mintage of the Royal Mint since the Shillings and Sixpence of 1787. I'm halfway to completing the set now, trying to stay with 65 or better.
