A half of a possible cast lead counterfitters mould for a George III halfpenny (34mm x 37mm; thickness: 6mm; weight: 34.74g), probably dating between 1800-20 AD as '18[ ]' is just visible on the surface. The bust seems to be facing right with the remains of the inscription around the outer edge. The back of the possible mould is plain with no decroation. However, if this artefact is mould, the inscription especially is not deep enough. It seems that this artefact may have also been taken from a real coin to get an impression with the coin placed on the lead.
