Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Or it was a shilling, anyway. To make it spin around inside a bezel, I'd assume the coin would have to have been drilled into and a couple of pins inserted into the holes. The three hallmarks stamped onto the bezel, visible in the lower photograph just above right of the queen's portrait, would tell you when and where the bezel was made. 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
