    Well obviously British coins. Also the odd Classic car. Heavy rock music (Sabbath, Zep, Rammstein etc etc) but also am a very big Pink Floyd fan and like the look of Kylie Minogue! I also quite like comical looking cows.

And don't overlook the 'E' for Edinburgh mint mark under the bust!

Well, you have a choice of three possibilities, all second bust.

1) E below bust (the middle one for rarity)
2) E * below bust (the least rare)
3) E * below bust "local dies" (the rarest)

I believe I can just make out the faint traces of the * to the right of the E. Which means it's either the commonest one or the rarest one. Statistics will tell you that wishful thinking is the least likely outcome! - I'm betting it's the commonest, S3609.

There's a listing here : http://www.treasurerealm.com/coinpapers/en.../Shil_Anne.html

Unfortunately, there is no image.

There's also a listing here :

Sadly, their images haven't loaded, just the dreaded blue ?
