Matt1980 New Member United Kingdom 2 Posts	Posted 10/30/2017 05:02 am I have recently started collecting modern English coins, so my father passed to me some old coins that were his fathers. Some of the coins date back to the 1700's, largely old penny type. However, one was of interest that appears to be gold, and looks quite old. My grandfather found the coins during his construction career, so I would think they would have come from the ground. If anyone could tell me what the coin is, how old it is, and whether it has any value, I would love to hear from you. Thank you in advance, Matthew * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 10/30/2017 4:20 pm This type of jeton was certainly being produced in Nuremberg in C14th & C15th. https://fr.numista.com/catalogue/pieces30979.html Report this Post to the Staff
