Coin Enigma

I'm snowed in in Ohio. Have been looking through my coins which I collected in my youth and retrieved from England on my last visit. I found another security edge. Its an Essex Walthamston 1811 Halfpenny with the legend vincit amor patri ae. More correctly I think it is described as a token. As a point of interest I remember going up Big Ben as a child, they used stacks of large cartwheel pennies as weights in the mechanism. Later, davep.

try a Hong Kong dollar, these had a security edge and were produced at The Royal Mint - they are slightly larger than a 10p which would account for the slight difference in size. It must date from 1968 as during the early part of 1968 some 17m florins (dated 1967) were being produced.
