Dodatkowe informacje

Historical Context: The 1723 ½ Penny silver pattern originated from the Isle of Man under James Stanley, 10th Earl of Derby, Lord of Mann (1702-1736). This era experienced a chronic scarcity of small change, a widespread issue across British dependencies. As a pattern, this proposed design, never circulated, represents Lord Derby’s attempt to regularize Manx currency and alleviate the fractional coinage shortage, highlighting the Stanley family's sovereign rights before Revestment to the British Crown.

Artistry: The specific engraver for this 1723 pattern is unrecorded, yet its stylistic execution reflects pragmatic numismatic traditions of early 18th-century
