iamchrisd Valued Member United Kingdom 61 Posts	Posted 05/28/2022 12:24 pm Hi all, this might be a tough one, but shining a light on the coin from the side, I can make out what u believe to be the following letters; 'COVENTAV' 'H ? ? ? E 'P L ? ? ?' '16?9' I have two pics showing the original and what I believe to be the letters and numbers. Any idea what this could be? Report this Post to the Staff
