An intriguing numismatic "artifact", comprised of a stack of six late 18th century Half Pennies secured with two rivet-anchors, and then drilled or hollowed out to form a cap or possible cane-top, etc. Coin on top is a 1772 Half Penny of George III, while bottom coin shows date of 1777. Judging by age and nature of the rivets, an early artifact indeed, and a neat curiosity
