Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 10/27/2018 4:08 pm Hi all, I would appreciate help in identifying this old coin. It is in rough shape, but it appears to have Britannia on one side so I am guessing it is British. It is very thin and weighs about 1.3g. It's about 5/8" across....about the size of a modern farthing. much thinner though. Any help would be much appreciated! Edited by Smallcentguy 10/28/2018 2:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 10/27/2018 5:52 pm Hadn't thought of that....makes complete sense tough as "Blacksmith" tokens are well known here in Canada. The bust faces the wrong way for George III though doesn't it.....so George IV? Maybe I will see if I can get the moderators to move this to a North American forum. Report this Post to the Staff

However, I'd point out that there were some Roman issues that featured a representation of Brittania on the reverse. To me this rather has the appearance of one of those, or a reproduction of such.
