Found Two Coins, Help Please.

Recommended Posts

Hello, I was wondering if somebody could help with some old looking coins we found, from looking on the internet they look like crowns from that period but the weights and sizes are diffferent.

The first coinx 31mm diameter and weighs approx 10g. 1-2mm wide nothing on the edges

the second coin is 26mm diameter and weighs approx 7g.1mm wide nothing on the edge.

I was wondering if anybody could help me identify these coins.

many thanks

Those are crude replicas, age uncertain, of Charles II silver. The first picture looks copper, but it could just be bad photography if the background is the same as the second one. Either way, everything about them screams "wrong". Scrap value only I'm afraid.

Yes, pretty poor replicas, I'm afraid.

No problem. Just to give you an idea of what the genuine article looks like (Charles II crown):
