The British 1797 "Cartwheel" Twopence was unique for a number of reasons, one being that it was the only British "Cartwheel" Twopence ever minted. A "Cartwheel" Penny was also minted in the same year.
The 1797 "Cartwheel" Twopence was the first copper Twopence to be minted, it was the first Twopence to have been minted since the 1786 silver Twopence, and it was the last general circulation Twopence to be minted until decimal currency was introduced in 1971 and, at the time, at 41mm in diameter, it would have been the largest coin in circulation and one of the largest and heaviest British Coins ever minted.
It was once an accepted practice to cut coins in half to produce two coins of half that value, but that practice had long since ceased by 1797.
My immediate knee jerk response is to say that modified coins have no value, but since the 1797 Twopence is such a stand out coin from so many perspectives, I am reluctant to pass judgement.
