    Very nice Will. I'm also collecting Kempson's Coventry buildings (along with Bath and Birmingham), I don't have an example of that one yet.

    There are some lovely examples there, I particularly like the whitefriars one with it's rich chocolate tone. I've started to collect the brass examples of the Birmingham series, 5 so far plus one that turned out to be a gilt copper! Have you considered collecting the Gloucester penny series? Being that little bit larger makes for some excellent detail

    A belated reply. I can't help with Col Leigh, however the coin is not at all scarce. A couple of years ago I bought a job lot at an auction of over 100 of these early Indian sub-continent coins for very little money. I suspect in the modern age of metal detectors they are turning up in huge numbers in India. They were low value when they were made and have remained that way!

     

    Many thanks Paddy. I thought as much! I've found nothing out about the Colonel either

  3. Hello all, it's a long while since I've posted. This little coin was bought with others I wanted in a job lot and I'm trying to find out more about the finder Lt Col Leigh and if it's a known or famous hoard that was found. I'm assuming it isn't as I can't find any information about it. Any help or pointers will be greatly appreciated
