There are a lot of British coins in Canada, but it takes a bit of work to find good British coins. I don't usually buy older British stuff because I'm intimidated by those tough grading standards and high prices, but sometimes I do come across something that I find attractive...
I picked this up at the Edmonton Coin Show, the largest show in this particular colony; there were about 4 cartwheel 2ds that I saw there, and this one had the advantage of being cheaper AND nicer than the other 3. I paid C$120 for it - because of our slippery exchange rate, that's only £60
I love these giant lumps of metal lol I have one genuine one that I've had about 20 yrs and just bought myself a Chinese copy. Bit of a glaring error they made (Well two)
Legends protrude rather than inset. Shield is completely wrong (taken from a different coin, is it a farthing or penny design? I have seen it before.) Alignment wrong.
