Best Answer

If you refer to the British 1797 Penny and Twopence coins, they may have been cursed by the people who had to use them.

Both coins were very big and very heavy, even by the standards of the day.

The 1797 "Cartwheel" Penny weighed 1 ounce or 28.35 grams and was 36 mm in diameter.

The 1797 "Cartwheel" Twopence weighed 2 ounces or 56.7 grams and was 41 mm in diameter.

What is the story of a 1797 British Georgius III DG Rex coin?

You do not specify which type of coin. In 1797, you have the following possibilities for George III British coins - Guinea - gold, about 25mm in diameter Half-Guinea - gold, about 20mm in diameter. Third-Guinea - gold, about 17mm in diameter There were no silver coins minted in 1797. Twopence - (known as a "cartwheel" coin) - copper, 41mm in diameter Penny - (known as a "cartwheel" coin) - copper, 36mm in diameter And that is about it for offically minted British coins in 1797. Due to Britains ongoing expenses with various wars in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, there were very few silver or copper coins minted, subsequently there were a great many privately minted tokens and counterfeit coins produced. Many of these tokens bear a resemblance in size and metal to the official coinage of the period.
