Probably not, since all my other English coins after 1900 are found there under "Great Britain". But ... what is it? -- Bob Hairgrove |

It's not from any of the other recognised components of the state entity known as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (which includes `Great Britain', as outlined in the first line in Krause concerning `Great Britain'). It's not an English coin. England stopped producing its own coins back in the early 1700's. It's not an official or private pattern coin from any of the component parts of the aforementioned state entity that i'm aware of. But ... what is it? Most probably something other than a bona fide coin. Seller hasn't responded to my request via ebay for data concerning the reverse. Caveat Emptor. |

It looks more like a modern fantasy, the portrait was used on some patterns,
but the style of lettering with that head doesnt match anything I reconise. Almost probably one of these Horrible things.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...61953 70&rd=1 Utter trash, made by idoits for idiots imo.

It's probably one of the various "retro" proof coins that are around at
the moment and as such is worth very little.
