But It also contain, Irish, Spanish, French, USA. Most of the dates are around 1850. I have 2 coin that I'm unable to identify. #1 Lady sitting with torch or flower. Unable to read the left inscription (Brit? Maybe). On the other face their is « georium?....... VIS ». #2 damaged coin with 2 bust, bases or the bust are still sharp. The front person does not seems to have crown, long hair, or veil. The back when playing with light look to have a crest (almost like a police badge). Also would love to know the kind of metal, the color is not the same than all the others. your help would be appreciated. thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 04/05/2019 09:52 am The first is a Canadian Blacksmith halfpenny token. One of the most common but was struck lacking detail to begin with. These circulated along with many other non regal coppers after 1820. This one is referred to as Bitit Token BL-37 Report this Post to the Staff
