Offered here is a historic early American colonial issue — a 1723 Rosa Americana Penny certified VG10 by PCGS and pedigreed to the renowned Sydney F. Martin Collection. These coins were struck in London, England under the authority of King George I by contractor William Wood and shipped across the Atlantic for circulation in the American colonies.
Predating the founding of the United States by more than half a century, Rosa Americana coinage represents some of the earliest copper money specifically produced for use in British North America.
