No, that would feature an obverse of Andy Coulson (effigy phone-hacked by Rebekah Brooks :D ) and a reverse depicting a grave with an episode of Strictly Come Dancing being filmed right on top of it. :lol:

well i did get one - i must admit it is not really that awful , while the coin itself is actually a white metal (full marks for that!) the packing is super - just a shame a few details are wrong - no reeded edge to the coin but there again they have to be sure you can tell it from an original coin

Close to the original design, or a laughable approximation?

I wonder if the people buying the kings shilling (freebie from the mail) for £5 off ebay know that for less than half that you can get a silver coin that genuinely could have been a kings shilling .

Really surprises me every time , why there are so many suckers out there?
