philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 03/03/2013 1:18 pm This is a modern reproduction, but the two sides don't belong together. The rose side ("Elizabeth, by the grace of God, the rose without a thorn") is paired with the reverse of an older coin? And it looks like the letter K has been stamped into the reverse (I'm guessing to stand for the German word for COPY). Edited by philadelphian 03/03/2013 1:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff
philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 03/03/2013 1:28 pm Found this pic from a metal detecting forum, of a reproduction coin identical to yours. Also with a CIVITAS LONDON reverse, but a somewhat different one: http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/a...e-help-2.jpg Actually, it and yours read I DG , for IACOBUS DEI GRATIA, so was meant to be a coin of James I. Here's the whole thread started by the poor guy who found this in the ground: http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/w...ke-help.html Edited by philadelphian 03/03/2013 1:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 03/03/2013 1:38 pm Some on this page: http://hammered_farthings.tripod.co...gs/index.htm So, do you think this was meant to be a copy of an Edward VI halfpenny? Report this Post to the Staff
rooneydog Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 739 Posts	Posted 03/03/2013 1:46 pm No - I was just looking at an old thread https://goccf.com/t/79477 and it seem to mention the above but I cannot find any similar coins in Spink but now you have clarified its IDG not EDG it doesn't matter - thanks Report this Post to the Staff
