George III coin

[Guest Sara]

I have a George III coin with a ship on it and a side portrait of who I assume is George III. Not sure of the date as I am at work and just found this site. Any guesses?

You could probably identify it from it's size and metal type on this page, assuming it's British:

Without a readable date it probably won't be worth much. It could also be irish, colonial or even German but i'd need more info to help further.

Best George III coin with a ship on it that I can think of is a Bahamas penny... a sailing ship sailing to the right. I think Bermuda had a similar (earlier) coin sailing to the left.
