English half penny????

Hi all, it has been a very long time since actively participating due to life in general being hectic. Though had one of those finds that I just had to put up and hopefully get a bit more info. I reckon it is a KG IV half penny 28mm in diameter and images are below. I have soaked it in olive oil and given a rub with a microfibre cloth. It is definitely going into the collection as a new fave, but as I can't see dates I wanted to see if could get any assistance or confirmation. If so the coin predates settlement of SA that's why it would be the favourite

Close ups Ferozn1, so we can see detail mate.

[ hopefully the close ups give a better image.
I have used simple resize to reduce image. Hope it works. First image

Which is a pretty ordinary shot :|

This may be it


heads

That looks the go Silver. Like all the finds it makes you think how it got there and how long it has been there. Now definitely my oldest find to date :Y: :Y: :Y:

Colonial coin

I reckon the heads are of different people. Maybe earlier or later.

Cheers

Only so much to choose from.

Are there earlier ones ?

Yes there are lots of earlier ones. You just need to find which one of them it is. Here is a coin dealer I use. Wynyard coins. 3 Barrack st Sydney. Try them to find out. they might be able to help you.
