Unusually, the same young portrait of king George II was used on the threepence throughout his reign (1727-60), despite an older portrait being used on other denominations from 1743. Threepences were produced in 1729, 1731, 1732, 1735, 1737, 1739, 1740, 1743, 1746, and 1760.
The obverse shows a left-facing bust of the king, with the inscription GEORGIVS II DEI GRATIA while the reverse shows the crowned "3" and MAG BRI FR ET HIB REX date. This example, (top) is estimated value is between £65 - £80 (2018)
