Michael_T Valued Member United States 122 Posts	Posted 09/29/2010 6:12 pm I found this with some junk in an old house and it is so worn I can't start to tell what it is. It is a tad bit larger that a US quarter. Can somebody identify this coin type so I can see what a good coin of this type looks like? It appears there is a crown over the top of something on the reverse. The obverse head is just plain gone. Any ideas? Identified - moved to World Coins forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

There's not enough lettering surviving to tell which version this is. 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
