Ukstu Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 Firstly apologies for posting this in British hammered as its not British i couldn't figure were to post it! I could do with some help identifying this. I've had it for years. I figured it was perhaps something to do with Pope Martin but to be honest thats a shot in the dark. Its roughly the same size as a Longcross penny , about 19mm. Metal wise I'd say it was silvered or low grade debased silver. It has what looks like an eagle on the rear with out stretched claws. Any ideas? Quote

Ukstu Posted November 13, 2017 Author Posted November 13, 2017 Just now, Matteo95 said: it is Saint Martin ( read : SANCTVS MARTINVS ) .... pope Martin has nothing to do with this coin I can see that now. I found that years ago detecting. Probably around 2010. It's been in a box ever since. Thanks for your help. Quote

Ukstu Posted November 13, 2017 Author Posted November 13, 2017 Always the way. It was staring me right in the eye all along. I wonder if its counterfeit? Its not stood the test of time well. It's shagged ?. It looks worse now than it did when i found it. 1 Quote
