1775 King George III Authentic Copper Revolutionary War Era Halfpenny, Colonial USA Non-Regal Portrait. J775 Date, very nice reverse. Reverse has original minting exclusions in Britannia. Overall a very attractive coin. Coinage of the Revolutionary War!
This represents a part of Colonial Coinage used here in America, and Great Britain this Hibernia or Irish coin was due to the shortage of copper and general scarcity due to the Revolutionary War and population increases throughout the Colonies and the British Isles. Limited coins were produced from 1769-1775 (and then none until 1805-1807 none until his death in 1820) this led to creating of Non-Regal coins both with George III's likeness as well as Conder or Provincial Tokens also used here in the United States.
Scarcity of early coinage in America where denominations were used primarily from Great Britain but other colonizing nations as well, the value was in the material either copper or silver, so almost any country's currency would pass hands.
Kings and Queens of Great Britain:
William and Mary   1689-1702
Anne                       1702-1714
George I                  1714-1727
George II                 1727-1760
George III                1760-1820
Historically important date during the colonization of America and our history.
Thanks for your consideration.
