Craig333 New Member 3 Posts	Posted 02/14/2021 11:41 am Hi All, Can you help me identify this coin, is it real? If so how much is it worth? I have narrowed it down to being Portcullis Money for the East India Trade Company, It is about 23mm wide, weighs about 3 or 4 grams. Report this Post to the Staff

Craig333 New Member 3 Posts	Posted 02/14/2021 12:07 pm Thanks for the quick reply, shame, although it did lead me down a history lesson whilst trying to find out, so what would the purpose of making such a fake be if they would be so easily distinguished as being so? Report this Post to the Staff

These are sold on presentation cards at museum gift shops etc. Edited by Hogarth 02/14/2021 12:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff
