Additional information

The name "George Sus. Sex - Britan Rules" points to a pattern or trial piece rather than a regular currency issue — "Sus." and "Sex." being abbreviated references to Sussex and likely a county or regional designation, though pieces of this description circulating under Atkins 207 occupy a murky space between official copper coinage and the promotional or political tokens common to the early Hanoverian period. George II's reign saw persistent public frustration with the quality of regal copper, with halfpenny production irregular enough that private and semi-official pieces filled genuine gaps in small change.
