Half Groat or Silver Twopence
First issued by Edward III in 1351 and still produced today for the Maundy Ceremony.
The design with a facing portrait of the King on the obverse and a long cross on the reverse remained very much the same until 1502 when a profile bust of Henry VII was shown in much greater detail than the stylised portraits of earlier issues.
During the reign of Charles I Briot produced a pattern that in silver saw some circulation.
Charles II continued the use of interlocking C's, while James II had a crown over the roman numeral II which is also a play on his initial the J and I were effectively the same character at that time.
Ever since 1689 the reverse has shown a crowned numeral 2.
The last issues for general circulation took place during the reign of George III, although some may have been struck for colonial use. The denomination is still struck as part of the Maundy coinage.
The present Maundy coin weighs 0.9 g and is 13 mm diameter.
