nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 11/09/2013 8:17 pm Yes... British coins almost never say which country they're from. So... if it has a British monarch, and no country is specified, it's the UK. All the colonies' coins are named (Canada, Australia, South Africa, Cyprus, etc.) on the coins themselves.

That's quite a good pointer for new collectors. Generally it's fairly standard to assume that a coin with Winston on one side and the Queen of England on the other is English but you never know! The Canadian mint may have got in there at some point, but if they had then it would be pure silver surely. You will never soar like an eagle if you hang around with turkeys.....
