JOE Valued Member United States 164 Posts	Posted 01/15/2009 04:36 am I did a little online searching and happened to find a page with a description of the coin. http://www.24carat.co.uk/1964bermud...wnframe.html Denomination: Crown Diameter: 38.61 mms Weight: 22.62 grams Alloy: 500 Silver: .3636 troy ounces The site says it's five shillings, And that it was made before they used a formal decimal system on it's currency, interesting how they would make a coin without any indication of it's value. (That must have been quite confusing. ) Edited by JOE 01/15/2009 05:02 am Report this Post to the Staff

But it does indeed have a denomination on it: "ONE BERMUDA CROWN". Everyone using the British monetary system would have known that there were 5 shillings in a crown, just as everyone in America would know there are 10 dimes in a dollar. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
