1 Tackoe - George III Trial Strike

The tackoe was a proposed fractional copper denomination intended for circulation in British West Africa, specifically the Gold Coast, where existing trade currencies were poorly suited to small transactions. These 1796 trial pieces were produced at the Royal Mint to test feasibility, but the denomination never entered regular production — the project was abandoned before any circulation strike was authorized.

The KM#Pn1 and Pn2 references indicate two distinct pattern varieties exist from this trial, likely differing in die alignment or edge treatment.
