Also found was a King George III gold guinea which would have been a soldier's pay for a month. Rowan University has a webpage about the discovery and identifies the guinea date as 1766. https://chss.rowan.edu/departments/...-battlefield https://www.brianrxm.com The Mysterious Egyptian Magic Coin Coins in Movies Coins on Television Edited by willieboyd2 08/03/2022 10:13 am Report this Post to the Staff
