It looks to be dated 1766 (1765?) with four ? letters below ending in HK. A large figure I at the top. Reverse has two crossed arrows ? below a castle ? Weight 0.93g and diameter 18mm Many thanks Brian Report this Post to the Staff

Added: here you go. Looks like maybe 1765, although I'm not positive: https://en.numista.com/29001 Here is an example from my collection, interestingly with some of the same areas of weakness and strength to the design elements: "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
