The Coinage Of William Wood referred to as Rosa Americana Coins came about due to William Wood obtaining a patent from George I to make tokens for the American Colonies. The first pieces have no date, but the rest are dated 1722, 1723, 1724 and 1733 and were produced in the denominations of half penny, penny, and twopence.
