WORLD COINS, Trinidad, Issue c. post-1804, Half-Bitt (valued at Sixpence), a cut quarter-segment of a Spanish 2 Réales (Pistareen) without countermark, 1.19g/18.4gr (Prid. –). About fine £30-50

Provenance: Bt 1973.
This denomination was used widely throughout the West Indies and it is listed in Pridmore under Barbados (Prid. 6). However, the denomination is specifically referenced in the Trinidad Order of Government, 5 May 1829, due to a problem with lightweight segments (cut fifths and sixths) entering circulation and creating problems in the marketplace (see the following lot)
