tracyaw Valued Member United Kingdom 127 Posts	Posted 07/06/2013 11:48 am The obverse reads Edward VII King Emperor and although the reverse is badly worn I can make out 1904. Thanks Terrible nothing can be made out really: Report this Post to the Staff

jcmworld Pillar of the Community United States 567 Posts	Posted 07/06/2013 12:20 pm British Colonial, probably Straits Settlements. The colony name is located on the reverse above the denomination. Can't make out the denomination though, would have to go off the diameter. Report this Post to the Staff
bdahab Valued Member Israel 60 Posts	Posted 07/06/2013 12:44 pm The crown shows as its colonial. Most of colonies add REX to the title. So Canada and Australia are out of the question. By the shape of the back end, with the date... My guess would be Hong Kong. Might be 1 cent. Depends on the coin size. Report this Post to the Staff
bdahab Valued Member Israel 60 Posts	Posted 07/06/2013 12:53 pm Looking at the picture again, it seems to be One Cent. So JCMWORLD is probably right. The Straits Settlements date is a bit smaller (1 cent) and seems better fitting the second image. Report this Post to the Staff
tracyaw Valued Member United Kingdom 127 Posts	Posted 07/06/2013 1:21 pm Thanks for the info. I looked at it close up with a magnifying Glass and I can see the letters "One Ce" so yeah you're both right. Report this Post to the Staff
tracyaw Valued Member United Kingdom 127 Posts	Posted 07/06/2013 1:36 pm I can't find a ruler to check diameter but this is how it looks beside a British penny: Edited by tracyaw 07/06/2013 1:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff
bdahab Valued Member Israel 60 Posts	Posted 07/06/2013 1:45 pm Tracyaw, You have a Straits Settlements 1Cent. Unless I'm hallucinating, after magnification of your picture (advantages of an IPAD) I see a faint 1 in the center of the second picture and the traces of letters above it, fit the "Straits Settlements". The size seems OK. Report this Post to the Staff
tracyaw Valued Member United Kingdom 127 Posts	Posted 07/06/2013 1:50 pm Yeah I found some pictures on the Internet with the info you gave and it is supposed to have a Big one, I tried to see it by inverting the image photoshop, but can't see it, obviously IPAD better ;) Cheers :) Report this Post to the Staff
