Sap Moderator Australia 16876 Posts	Posted 06/21/2012 5:51 pm Yep. It definitely isn't a genuine sovereign - the details are all either too crude, wrong (such as EDVARDVS instead of EDWARDVS) or missing altogether (such as the designer's initials on the reverse and the rim denticles). Compare with a genuine KE7 sov. It sure doesn't look gold, either - not with a verdigris spot on the obverse. It's probably a piece of play money. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 06/21/2012 6:52 pm I wonder what the "G.O." below the King's effigy intended to convey to us ? Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36906 Posts	Posted 06/21/2012 7:07 pm Could this be a spielmarke or game token? It does not appear that it was intended to be a coin that would pass as a gold sovereign. I don't see any signs of any gold plating on this piece. It is also very crude to pass as a coin of the realm. Is there anything on the edge? Report this Post to the Staff
R-Dawkins Valued Member South Africa 105 Posts	Posted 06/21/2012 7:35 pm cant really say much about the coin, friend of mine mailed me the pics wanting my opinion (he just started collecting a month or two ago)... I guess it could be a game token or some fantasy money or something like the us fantasy Trade dollars.. I want it though.. not sure why ! Report this Post to the Staff
