I see a woman seated as in the CT Coppers... congrats!

Then after looking harder I see the shield by her side... now maybe I see the KG III....hmmmm now I don't know anymore, but my gut says KG III.

As I've never seen either in person, this is all based on pictures on the internet. Still nice to pull some history from the earth, in any condition!

Am I mistaken or isn't Britannia on both of them?

Yes, you are correct... I've never held either, so I am bowing to wiser more experienced men...

It’s a KG2. I can faintly make out the “IUS” from “GEORGIUS II REX” on the left side of the obverse. A Connecticut copper would say “AUCTORI CONNEC”.

Still a nice find!
