      Coin or Token??

      By jacobvs · Posted

      Thanks Paddy, I've not been able to find anything like it either! The crowned bust almost looks Elizabethan, although I'm not sure it's that old. I think it's too thin to be a regal coin, although like you say, I have seen some counterfeit George's on similar very thin flan's Hopefully, someone out there may have seen something similar!

      Warped 2003 20p coin

      By Paddy · Posted

      Interesting. I would say "post Mint damage" (PMD) and so not making it collectable. It certainly has taken a battering - I wonder if it was in a fire or something?

      Warped 2003 20p coin

      By coinclueless · Posted

      Found it while going through some change, no idea what im looking at to be honest, at first i thought it was some just an old worn down 20p that may be clipped or something, but the detailing itself is also oddly warped, especially on the crown, any ideas?

      Coin or Token??

      By Paddy · Posted

      I have had a bit of a look at this, but got nowhere so far. The head reminds me of the late 18th century evasion and counterfeit halfpennies produced in the UK and America, but the reverse does not relate to these at all. The crossed knot design reminded me of some Portuguese and Maltese coins of that era, but again no match so far. Good luck!

      Coin or Token??

      By jacobvs · Posted

      Hi all, I was hoping someone may be able to give me a clue with the attached. The monarch looks Spanish maybe, but not been able to find anything remotely like it. Perhaps not actually a coin but maybe a token, counter or jeton? Appears to be copper alloy on a very thin sheet like flan. Diameter: 17mm, Weight: 0.6g Date wise, I was thinking c16th-c17th or later maybe if not a coin?? Any help much appreciated! Best regards, James
