bhx7 New Member United Kingdom 33 Posts	Posted 09/29/2015 3:43 pm Hi All I was given a load of coins from a friends fathers estate as my friend knew I collected. Amongst the standard Milled coinage was this one. It is about the size of an English Shilling and quite thick. I think it could be silver. It is a lot nicer in the hand. Not the best photo!! Thanks Edited by bhx7 09/29/2015 3:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff
