I was reading another post here yesterday about someone that had found an Indian peace medal and it looked alot like this one that my friend has.I will get exact measurements tomorrow but its about the size of a silver dollar but thicker.Its copper (?) and is dated 1797.If you look just below and to the right of the seated figure there is some lettering that I believe says soyd not sure I'll get a closer look tomorrow once I can get better pics. Thanks !

The word SOHO refers to the Soho Mint at Birmingham, where Messrs. Boulton & Co. carried on their business, and coined these and most of the copper coins and patterns of this reign.

I think they call it a cartwheel penny. Iron Patch can tell you for sure.

Yes, but looks like the twopence. (2 penny)

A British 1797 copper Twopence (George III)(41 mm diameter, aka a "Cartwheel coin"), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £1,400 GBP (it would have to possess close to or full original red mint lustre to command this price). If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £40 to £400 GBP.
