Nic Pillar of the Community Philippines 1156 Posts	Posted 07/14/2009 03:13 am It shows a good looking naval ship and I think this is Australian half penny, but am not sure. Kindly requesting confirmation and also how do I differentiate between Australian and Great Britain coins? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

The way to determine British coins is pretty ironic: it has no country identifiers. Same with all British stamps, but that was because they were the first to issue stamps, so even by the World Post Organization (or something called that) was founded, they allowed the Brits to keep just an effigy of their monarch, with no verbal identifier. So if you don't see any country's name but a king/queen's head, it's most like British. Just kidding, it's called the Universal Postal Union.
