Reverse shows the Irish and Scottish shields, while the Obverse shows the commonwealth shield, I do believe. Smaller than a dime- about the size of the old Canadian silver 5 cent piece.

The lettering above the two shields looks more like "II" rather than "I". 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
