granville New Member Australia 1 Posts	Posted 09/27/2020 07:11 am This was found by my father in an old shed in Australia in the mid-1960s. Looks very worn. Around the edge it says 'Payable in Anglesey or London'. Would appreciate any info. Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 09/27/2020 08:16 am Interesting hand counterpunched has an 8 over 3. Perhaps a very worn halfpenny? I think I can see a wreath on the more crude punched side. Report this Post to the Staff
alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 09/27/2020 11:36 am The host coin would appear to be this: A Parys Mine halfpenny or Penny. If so there's probably an edge inscription. Report this Post to the Staff
oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5240 Posts	Posted 09/27/2020 11:41 am The weight would determine if it was a penny or a half-penny. Quite fascinating how it got to Australia and was punched presumably decades later. Why and the significance of the date are almost certainly lost in the mists of history.

Sap Moderator Australia 16827 Posts	Posted 09/28/2020 6:46 pm Guessing a husband had it made for himself so he wouldn't forget their wedding anniversary?

An event that important should be in hexadecimal. Edited by David Graham 10/07/2020 11:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff
