As close as I can find so far, legend on reverse of mine I believe will say HOLLHO then maybe a mint mark of some kind., then P or T obverse is slightly different as well, no small cross before HOLLANDIE on this coin I'm still searching, lol never looked at so many coins from Holland.

now that would be a good idea!
-
Thanks again Rob, Much appreciated.
-
Its strange stu how all the gold I have found has come out in lovely condition, just a George IIII Sovereign I had that maybe be me or the plough had dinked it.
-
Is there a reference to the obverse Rob?
-
Just putting this coin in the correct section as it is a lovely hammered coin. The reverse die is the same as number 200 in the famous Schneider collection but the obverse has the mint mark in a different place, maybe an over mark.

Just wondering if the date on this coin has a normal 6, 9 . they both look like the same open backed punch, is this correct for this date?

It was a nice feeling seeing that lump fall out of the clod.
-
I think this has to be the most beautiful gold coin I have plucked from the ground. This was found some 25 years ago, every time I look at it I think about the poor person that dropped it. It still has luster around the legends.

Thanks Dave. I thought striking cracks may have been caused by the silver cooling to fast, only reason I asked
-
Thanks Rob, will enquire.
-
Thanks stu, don't think I did bad ..... but it did take me about three evenings looking at them will post better pics of the other two.
-
Really interesting chaps, thanks for the comments. Just out of interest Would larger coins such as crowns and half crowns be heated before hammering.
-
The first coin Ricard on Nicol looks very much like ficard, but can't find that moneyer. so must be Ricard.
-
Thanks Peter and Rob, so someone hit the punch slightly to the left, not a direct hit, On the second strike.
