Recycled Half Penny
This coin, the old English half penny was issued with a lovely tall ship as the design inspired by Sir Francis Drake’s “Golden Hind”.
When this coin is hand pierced, filed and polished, the results are fabulous. A great deal of time, absolute care and attention are required to create this ‘cut’ coin pendant. As you can imagine one tiny unwanted movement of the saw can easily (and does!) destroy a rigging line or mast on the ship, rendering all of the work up to that point completely useless.
Handcrafted and recycled in Cambridge, UK.
Size : Approx 25 mm diameter

    perfect

    I have ordred this for my partner. You get to select the date that is perfect for you too. An anniversary or birthday year. Fabulous.

    Amazingly intricate

    Astonishingly light and cut out in amazingly intricate detail. This piece is far more than the photograph suggests and as an engineer I can appreciate the work that has gone into both making this and developing the skill to do so.

    Totally minted!

    My dad chose this himself for his anniversary gift from me. He loves the cut-out coins and picked a coin that was minted the same year he was born. He isn’t a jewellery fan as such but he wears this most of the time and really appreciates the pieces made by Les. If you are reading this and have not ordered anything you would do very well to buy something, it is worth every penny!

    Very happy BUT !!!

    Extremely intricate and tasteful piece of work
    You my friend have a skill and a steady hand !!!!!
    I was torn between 3 coins at the time of ordering
    The three penny bit with the cut out lettering
    The half crown cut out
    And this half penny
    The reason I chose the half penny was because I wanted my year of birth , this ruled out the three penny as you don’t offer 1966
    Also I decided that the half crown being 32mm was too big as I didn’t want to be medallion man.
    So it sort of chose itself.
    The coin pendant is amazing & is a credit to you .
    My only gripe is that it has started to tarnish already ( one week )
    I realise that bronze does naturally tarnish & this is not a complaint far from it , merely an observation
    I tried to clean it with metal polish BIG MISTAKE .ok it’s lustre is back but the black definition that you applied has now gone

    Beautiful

    I had been looking at this on your website for a while and now finally I own one. It is an exceptional piece of jewelry – the way the ship has been cut out is amazing and the coin is from my year of birth making it extra special.

    Lovely

    I am now the owner of another great piece of Hairy Growler jewelry. The Golden Hind pendant is lovely – the detail is amazing and the coin is dated with my birth year. I love it.
