This one arrived from the DNW auction today and is much better than their images showed. Although it looked pretty washed out in their images it's one I have wanted for a while. P-1097, late Soho. A big hunk of copper, around 26.5 grams as I recall, and I like the look a lot.

Beautiful pattern, JCM. I've always liked these with Britannia holding the trident in her right hand. Doesn't that signify war?

There is another design with some florals or flourishes on the lower obverse rim (under George III) which I like even more. Don't have a Peck handy at the moment to check the number (P-1082 from memory?).
