1786 1/2P Constellatio Nova Half Penny
Strike Type
Coin Details
Description
A 1786 Constellatio Nova copper halfpenny. Note the reversed word order: "Constellatio Nova" rather than "Nova Constellatio" as on earlier issues. The 1786 is the final year of the series and is considerably scarcer than the 1783 and 1785 issues. The design retains the eye of providence with rays and stars but with the transposed legend that distinguishes this late issue.
Rarity Notes
Scarce. The 1786 date is less common than 1783 or 1785. Reversed legend order (Constellatio Nova instead of Nova Constellatio).
