This could have been dropped by anyone visiting the area. As it was farming country in those days. I'd like an approximate value, if anyone could please have a look! * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * * Edited by Staff to crop and/or rotate images.

Sap Moderator Australia 17009 Posts	Posted 08/25/2026 12:45 am Hello and welcome. It's hard for us to tell which coin you have, since all predecimal coins have the same design on the obverse. It *looks* like a 1948-1951 threepence? Assuming it's a threepence, it's made of 50% silver, so will certainly not be worthless, even if it has minimal collector premium. 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. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
