| Additional information |
In 1822, the British government was actively considering a copper coinage for the Ionian Islands, then a British protectorate. This piece is a pattern — a proposal struck for official consideration, never approved for circulation. The Royal Mint produced very few examples, and the surviving population is correspondingly small. KM#Pn2 is the standard reference, though documented auction appearances are infrequent enough that pricing remains genuinely uncertain.
