    • Or even earlier, but cannot find any portrait issues of the low denominations. 
    • Looks like a 17th or 18th century Portuguese copper reis of sorts to me.
    • Thanks Paddy, I've not been able to find anything like it either! The crowned bust almost looks Elizabethan, although I'm not sure it's that old. I think it's too thin to be a regal coin, although like you say, I have seen some counterfeit George's on similar very thin flan's Hopefully, someone out there may have seen something similar!  
    • Interesting. I would say "post Mint damage" (PMD) and so not making it collectable. It certainly has taken a battering - I wonder if it was in a fire or something?  
    • Found it while going through some change, no idea what im looking at to be honest, at first i thought it was some just an old worn down 20p that may be clipped or something, but the detailing itself is also oddly warped, especially on the crown, any ideas?
