1668 KINGS LYN FARTHING
Emperor Oli replied to a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
The obverse looks as you described... -
Off the top of my head the most obvious answer would be that it is a different crown. In India, George V was Emperor whereas in the other countries listed, he was a King. Having two crowns (one for being Emperor, one for being King) would account for the missing pearls.

1668 KINGS LYN FARTHING
Emperor Oli replied to a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
1668 is Charles II, but there were no farthings struck in that year. Like you, I have just looked in Spink and Coincraft but found no reference which leads me to believe that it is a provincial token. I understand 18th century provincial tokens to be "Conders" but I don't know if this term applies to 17th century ones. It's definitely not official. Is it milled or hammered? Register and post a picture, that would help. -

Wyon's is beautiful, the 2005 one looks computer rendered. -

60 miles give or take. You could come when (not if) they start a Manchester Coin Fair. -
Linkypoo I don't know how much those are worth so I couldn't comment!

I was looking forward to hearing Chris' voice over the internet radio, but with the show starting at 3:30, I will miss it! I get home at about 4:35! Is there any way to record it?

Anybody know what these are?
Emperor Oli replied to Emperor Oli's topic in Enquiries about Non British coins
This is the last one. All of them display the globe thing as on the brooch. As said earlier, I think they're brazilian, can anybody help? -
The first has been made into a brooch, the reverse is dated 1814, and looks like it has been overstruck on another coin. I'll upload the othersin subsequent posts. I have a feeling that they're Brazilian, probably because of the "B" in the middle of the brooch.

The overstruck circle on the first picture (rev or obv?!) seems to be struck over the same globe-like thing on the above brooch. I can't see a date on this one -

I'm flummoxed with that. I got a Clerk's test paper from the Bank of England with questions like that and I could do about three of the twenty questions. If I find it I'll type it out and post it here... -

2005 Crowns
Emperor Oli replied to aleroit2000's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
The Post Office may do them, but I imagine the RM will do what they have done before - £5 for £5 (a loose coin not in a folder). These are £5, not crowns by the way. -
Hi there, I'm one of the people Chris is talking about!

Emperor Oli replied to Emperor Oli's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I agree, but my cited example of the coronation anniversary seems to be the style of our time, at least in the Mint's eyes. I just hope they don't do anything akin to that ever again. -
