George III Proof Pattern 1/2 Penny 1795 PR64 Red and Brown PCGS, Peck-1054. By W. J. Taylor. An exquisite restrike produced in the 1850s from salvaged Soho mint dies. The design for this pattern is a charming variant of the eventually adopted 'cartwheel' design, with a broad raised rim within which the legend is incuse. The reverse depiction of Britannia, however, is far more sensitively performed than that of the 1797 dated currency issues, and she is shown seated within the cartwheel border itself, a dynamic design choice. Vibrantly colored a milk chocolate with seafoam green iridescence within the cartwheel border, a stunning piece.
