Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 10/24/2013 03:24 am Please, can you help me to identify this coin/token? It is British and it resembles a British Guinea. On the 'obverse' it carries the likeness of King George III and a (Latin) inscription. On the 'reverse' there is a CROWN AND LAUREL (not a Spade). The inscription (on the 'reverse') reads "HAIL BRITAIN HEAVEN RESTORES YOUR KING" together with the date of "1789". I have seen many tokens that have the 'Spade' embossed on the 'reverse' but I cannot find one with the 'Crown and Laurel' and the inscription "HAIL BRITAIN HEAVEN RESTORES YOUR KING". Can anyone tell me what this is, please? Report this Post to the Staff
