karrlot Pillar of the Community United States 535 Posts	Posted 03/10/2007 10:48 pm I think all of the countries of the commonewealth put the name of their country on their coin. So if you have a coin with the Brittish Monarch on it, and the country isn't identified, then you know its from Great Britian. Report this Post to the Staff
casey jones Valued Member United Kingdom 103 Posts	Posted 03/27/2007 08:41 am The chains are actually attached to a crowned portcullis. This symbol was first used on British coinage in the Tudor period by Henry V111. The symbol used to grace the old brass three pence coins from pre-decimal times but now is on the current one pence coin. It's also associated with Parliament ( H.M ) & Customs & Excise ( H.M ).

Very funny, Pennybright, very funny. The only reason the British started to send convicts to New South Wales (Australia) in 1787 was because they could no longer send them to their North American colonies after the American Revolution. Australian colonies were not the only ones to receive convicts, many of England's African colonies also received convicts in their early days. As has been pointed out, Australia, Canada, etc all have their country named on their coins. Report this Post to the Staff
