UltraRant Pillar of the Community Norway 1358 Posts	Posted 11/14/2016 11:44 am It's a token. No legal British coin has a logo of The Royal Mint on it and lacks a face value or mintage year. Or the portrait of Lizzie, when it comes to that. I can tell you a bit more about the possible usages of these tokens. You are right about the size: it is actually a trial strike on a 10p planchet. Or it should be. This should be 24.5mm and 6.5 gram and the token should be made of copper nickel in order to be 'legit' for the 10 pence. The Royal Mint used such tokens as 'test coins', not just for British coins but also for overseas ones. Now it's just to find a coin struck by The Royal Mint that actually has your dimensions and you know what it is testing. Report this Post to the Staff
