George III 1760 - 1820

Plain edge and beautiful dark tone, a lovely coin.

When the first convicts were sent to Australia, these George III Silver threepences of 1762 and 1763 were on board. They are highly collected in Australia as one of the first coins to come to that country. We have a small group of choice examples in Uncirculated condition. Of course most of the coins were carried by the guards, but no doubt some of the convicts had money too. These are beautiful coins with an important history to Australia and they are now almost 260 years old. These are much nice than you would usually see the 1762 and 1763 George III silver threepences. Get them while you can…
