jdsstrat Valued Member United States 274 Posts	Posted Today 1H 15M ago I am not sure of much on this coin. Charles II of Spain? of England? I am not even sure that it is a Charles, although I think I see a 1685 on the obverse, being stared at by the bust. And I think those are an eagle's wings on the reverse. What do you think? P.S. Don't make too much of the different colors to the pictures, as they were taken separately when the light was different. Edited by jdsstrat Today 24M ago Report this Post to the Staff

I think what you see as a "68" is the OR in GEORGIUS, but the pic of the obverse is too unfocused to tell. If it wouldn't be too much trouble take a better picture of the obverse Report this Post to the Staff
jdsstrat Valued Member United States 274 Posts	Posted Today 39M ago Too small for a farthing. Yes, I am having a tough time with that obverse picture. I just reposted a slightly better one. Edited by jdsstrat Today 21M ago Report this Post to the Staff
henryvoight New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted Today 7M ago Thanks! It looks like that letter I though was an R is a B, like in Jacobus. James II? Can you provide measurements? If its too small to be a farthing I dont know what else this could be other than some sort of token. I don't think any of his gun money issues were very small. Report this Post to the Staff
