Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2518 Posts	Posted 09/10/2014 7:30 pm It does look a bit rough, but I don't know Australian coins. I think I see a double strike. It's to the right of the King's crown, on the top of the horse's tail, and on the right of the front left horse leg. Can anyone more knowledgeable confirm? Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16817 Posts	Posted 09/10/2014 8:28 pm Yes, it's double-struck, with about a 7 degree rotation between them. Two crowns, two crosses, two beards, two horse-tails, and lettering mangled to unreadability. And yes, it's fake. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
