Gaz T Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Hiya was this minted by the government to deceive the people or is it just a good fake of the time ? Thanks for any help. Quote
Rob Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Civil War period fakes are quite common. Most tend to be half-crowns, though shillings are also known. The Royalists went to great lengths to ensure that silver standards were maintained at their temporary mints from 1642-6, and there is no evidence to suggest Parliament attempted to debase the coinage either.
