Elizabeth and half the word -egina is all that's legible. Identified - moved to Exonumia forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16850 Posts	Posted 01/29/2010 8:25 pm Canada is the only country to put "regina" in full on the coinage - only Canada and Britain still use Latin, and "regina" appears on British coinage abbreviated: REG. If it's currently quarter-sized then I assume it was originally a Canadian 50 cents. This small-sized lettering was only used on silver 50 cent coins in 1965 and 1966. Your coin would have originally looked like this. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.
