Fascinating story to these: specially designed for the collection plates of West Indian churches, into which god-fearing folk considered it terrifically bad form to put copper coinage. Being a quarter of a Spanish real, it became known as the Christian Quattie.
Nice high grade with a decent lustre. Although minted with the Colonies in mind, these did circulate in Great Britain, but not for long. Even in 1843 there wasn't much you could buy for 1/1920th of a Pound!
Although minted with the Colonies in mind, these did circulate in Great Britain, but not for long. Even in 1844 there wasn't much you could buy for 1/1920th of a Pound. This one has a slight titled E in REG, for those who like their microvarieties. I know I do.
Issued for Malta as their "grano" was 3 to a farthing. Allow me to demonstrate the elegance of predecimal maths: there's 3 of these to a farthing, so 12 to a penny. Thus, there's 144 to a shilling, and 2,880 to the pound. 288,000 minted = £100
