EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Cartwheel twopence coin from 1797, made of bronze and crafted by Conrad Heinrich KAochler. Housed in The Royal Mint Museum in Llantrisant, UK, this artifact holds historical significance as it represents the reign of King George III. George III, also known as the King of Great Britain and Ireland during his time on the throne, ruled from October 25th, 1760 until his passing on January 29th, 1820. This particular coin was minted during his reign when he became the monarch of the United Kingdom starting from January 1st, 1801. The image portrays Britannia personified through a trident-wielding man surrounded by shields and other symbols associated with British royalty. The reverse side features a portrait of King George III himself. As an important piece within numismatics - the study or collection of coins - this cartwheel twopence offers insight into Georgian currency and serves as a testament to Britain's rich history. It symbolizes both monetary value and regal authority that were intrinsic to British society at that time. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this remarkable artwork for us to admire its intricate details and appreciate its cultural significance.
