Rob Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 For a start they are halfcrowns, not florins, but no. I assume the larger of the two is a copy, but god knows where it came from. China? 1 Quote
declan03 Posted June 13, 2017 Author Posted June 13, 2017 Haha omg typo....yes halfcrowns!! Who on earth would copy these? The Chinese as you said Rob. Good try though ? Quote
Rob Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 I've seen a few copies of both G5 & G6 halfcrowns, but they have all been the right size. The reasons I thought the larger was the copy was the shorter serifs on the linked Gs and the C. The shape of the protrusion on the harp by the left Gs looks to be straight as well instead of being slightly curved. 2 Quote
