Sometimes too speedy and I get it wrong. I should always take the time to double check. But this one I think is right.

Coinage123, I believe you have the wrong RIC number. The one you show has a slightly different obverse legend ending with NOBIL C and it looks like the OP coin ends with NOB C

Very nice indeed, again, not an average UK find - you must have a kind field atm Great condition and one of the rarer issuers, if you compare this to the size and weight of the coin I have just posted (26mm 11.25g) you will see just how much smaller and lighter this coin type got over a 9 year period. |

Very nice find, wish we could find coins like that in the States. Bing is a star when it comes to attribution, he is so quick that I don't even try anymore.
