That 4 ANNAS is a real work of art! I love it!  Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

@NumisRob. The tails is a bit more convincing than the heads! How did they cope with the micro-legends round the inner edge of the rim? Or didn't they bother?

Silly me! Sorry! Not properly awake! It was 6.30am here when I read the post cos I woke up too early. They didn't bother, did they! I have, however, seen pound coins with either coarse or fine micro legends. I'll try and dig one out so I can upload pics. I thought the coarse ones might be fake when I first saw them.
