thanks so much for your help! and to answer your question, yes they were legal tender, among many other coins from other countries, in canada until of course we got our own! it is quite interesting actually, the history of coins in canada. This link was pretty helpful for me if you have some spare time to read it! http://dsp-psd.pwgsc.gc.ca/Collection/FB2-14-1999E.pdf

so is it George III?

Its about 28.5 mm.... its not perfectly round, but then again i don't know how perfect these coins were made! It also weighs 8 grams... don't know if that is relevant

Hi everyone! I found this coin on an archaeological site in Toronto Canada and we're having a probably identifying it. Its pretty damaged. Only one side is visible with what looks like a sitting person but its still pretty difficult to make out. I was wondering if anyone knew about where is comes from and how old it is. Looking at some of the forgeries i felt it might be a George III coin. Any information at all would be better than what we got! thanks, ren
