Thank you all  . yeah, I think this is a really great activity, it's a lot of fun and you get to see a lot of different coins. However, I only have one date left that I will be able to use once 1830 is up, So I really hope there will be a ninth edition  |

Thanks TeeEss86 - they are little silver coins, smaller than a dime, worth four English pence. The groat is a very historic denomination dating back originally to the 13th century, but the last issue was in 1888 - by then the silver threepence was considered more convenient. I'm afraid my last 1836 UK coin isn't as nice...  1836 UK farthing:  Edited by NumisRob

1836 UK farthing: I can see the obverse has the same Image as the Groat. Is the reverse the same as well? |

Is the reverse the same as well? Virtually the same, Britannia by Wyon. A similar seated figure of Britannia was used on most English copper and bronze coins from the late 1600s until decimalisation, and adopted later for the cupro-nickel 50 pence until 2008, but the groat was the only silver coin with the seated Britannia.

Fantastic coins, everyone! mysilveryears, that Peru 8 reales has me drooling!  I have 4 1/4 Real from Mexico to image - one that may be real, and 3 that are horrible fakes. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures
