6 Pence

Bermuda's "Hogge Money" coinage of 1616 is among the earliest currency struck specifically for use in a British colonial possession. Produced in England — almost certainly in or around London — these pieces circulated on the island at a time when the Somers Isles Company controlled the colony. The brass composition was deliberate: the company wanted a currency that couldn't be exported and traded elsewhere, tying it firmly to the local economy.

The KM#4 sixpence is the largest denomination in the four-piece series. Contemporary accounts describe the coinage as poorly received by colonists, who preferred Spanish silver.
