If that is mm spacing then a farthing. Makes sense given the weights. Old sterling pennies were 1.4g down to 1g ish, so 1/4g =1/4 penny. Do you have any reference books? Just wondering because by Eliz.1 the penny was about 0.5g, but that had declined over a long period. Coin values are determined by the diameter of the inner circle because the outer one is too sussecptible to spreading when struck. Rules for the future: 1. Get a Withers small change book. 2. Get a Withers small change book. 3. Get a Withers small change book. 4. Get a Withers small change book. 5. Get a Withers small change book. The surplus suggestions are to cover the 4 periods contained within the volume set, and allow me to book some copy and paste replies without having to make any other contributions. They cover Ed1 - Ed.2; Ed.3-R1; Henry 4-6;Ed.4 - Henry 7 and Henry 8-Commonwealth. You don't have to buy every one at the same time unless they are offering a discount to clear some stock. It is the best reference available and is regularly updated. Worse advise (sic) is available on ebay from some aspiring millionaire who found this in granny's change the other day, conveniently overlooking the moneyer Grunal. Hint. This is Dave Greenhalgh's name for coins he has made, (legitimately for the purpose of demonstrating hammered minting techniques).

There is a decimal coin section: https://www.predecimal.com/forum/forum/61-decimal-coins/ But the forum is mainly focussed on pre-decimal coinage (before 1971). Some members do have some involvement with decimal coins but I don't think many buy those larger silver proof issues. I assume you bought it because you are a Freddie Mercury fan?

Ah sorry. I didn't scroll far enough up to see the origin of the discussion.

Following from last years Hammered Coins and now of a greater understanding..... the measurements are in mm, the weight is 0.24 grms Ive sized it up against them that have already been identified and matches close to the hammered Half Pennies that I have... Civi Taz Lon Don ...City of London. Edward.......to be advise.. Any comments greatly welcome... Many thanks "H" 👍🙏

Where can I find someone here in the forum who has the same coin as me? Or where is it discussed?

I don t know🫣

I have merged the 2 similar topics into 1. 5 oz is it. I can't remember off the top of my head (without checking) if the £10 silver proof version of the Music Legends coins have the same design as the £5 variants. Sometimes they have slightly different designs for the larger silver proof versions of coins.

I'm new to this world, thanks

Oh ok. Then hello and welcome! Can't be too careful these days.

sorry..I thought it hadn't been published

it's the 10 pounds..5 ounces

Si scusa pensavo non fosse stato pubblicato

Yes, you posted it before (since merged with the similar topic). I replied, and now you've created this similar topic for no reason. Reply to this message please, or I'll have to assume that you're some kind of spammer or time-wasting bot.

Sono così felice di questa moneta da 10 sterline!!😍😍

Its totally blank on the other side Chris

I ment farthings or halfpennies

I think when the message comes up like that it is because the lot has been withdrawn or cancelled by Ebay. If it had sold it would show in the sold listings. I hope that is the case!

do you have pictures of the other side?

An empty clothes rack? Nothing suspicious about that in my wardrobe

I have one of those 1721 over 1720 - though in pretty awful condition. I think this is the second one I have had through my hands.

1721/0 is also quite scarce

As there is no automated way of translating, I think you'd be better off posting in English Enzo. That appears to be a Freddie Mercury silver proof £5 (edit: £10). One of the Royal Mint's 'Music Legends' series. It might even be the one they are currently peddling.

Closer picture 🙃
