I can't find anything online about it. However it looks like a mint mark, could it be Canberra? Or is this just Pareidolia? Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2951 Posts	Posted 09/24/2023 1:10 pm According to all the pictures of the same coin being sold, and on numista, I don't see any possible mintmarked coins, so I conclude that there would be no mintmark in that location. So unless I am missing something, I think paridolia. Report this Post to the Staff
triggersmob Pillar of the Community Australia 9350 Posts	Posted 09/24/2023 8:49 pm I just checked the pictures in the McDonald catalogue and I don't see any C and no mention of it either, in any of that series. Report this Post to the Staff

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
