But Maybe one of you may recognize it! I thought it was maybe UK because maybe that is Britannia's shield on the Reverse. However I could not find that arm orientation on any coin. Would love any help, if anyone recognizes it. Thanks! -GB Report this Post to the Staff

They were deliberately made to (very crudely) imitate very worn 18th century British coins. Report this Post to the Staff
