pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 06/26/2013 2:49 pm Sorry about the image, am currently setting up new pc with half my software missing and windows 8. Coin is the dark one, top right corner. It has two stamps, one vaguely like a head and one like a dolphin if you squint the right way. Coin is almost 30mm and 13.2g Cant make out any lettering. Were there any countermarks as images rather than letters? Report this Post to the Staff
