Description: | A post medieval copper-alloy 'English style' Nuremburg jetton of George II struck by Iohann Weidinger or Iohann Friedrich Weidinger. The obverse depicts George II, who was crowned in 1727. However the reverse contains the name of Iohann, rather than his son Iohann Friedrich, Weidinger, who died in December 1727 (cf Mitchiner 1988 pp 519-521, ref. 1848ff. & 1854). This jetton was either struck in the short period between the death of George I and Iohann Weidinger, or the reverse is from a die re-used by Iohann Friedrich. The jetton measures 19.5mm (diameter) x 0.7mm (thickness) and weighs 0.83g.
