Image description

This George III Cartwheel penny was probably taken from the pocket of an infantryman at Waterloo. The penny had been hit by a musket ball at right angles denting the copper and bringing the ball to a complete stop, thus probably preventing the man’s death. Nothing is known of the soldier concerned. He was possibly killed in action, even if not perhaps by the ball that hit the penny. These massive penny coins were minted in Birmingham. They display George III facing right on one side and Britannia facing left on the other.
