Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 09/21/2024 7:15 pm @mxw, first welcome to CCF. Second, can you please post the diameter and weight of this piece? I suspect it is from Great Britain, but knowing this addition information could help narrow down the domination. Thx.

Sap Moderator Australia 16804 Posts	Posted 09/22/2024 05:29 am Assuming it's "about the size of a modern cent", then I'd assume it's actually a British farthing of King George I. The next question would be authenticity - as one possible explanation for its crude appearance is that it's a contemporary counterfeit. I'm mainly raising the possiblity because a normal off-centre strike shouldn't have a raised lip like that, but a cast copy might.
