Guest coinguy2k5 Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 I am not sure if this is a British coin or not. It was given to me by a relative. Any guesses to what this coin is would be great! I attached an obverse picture....I do have a reverse picture if needed. Since I live in the US....no one I know that collects coins really knows what this is.Thanks Quote
Guest coinguy2k5 Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 I forgot that the distance between each white mark is 3mm. Also I decided to attach a reverse pic. Quote
Guest coinguy2k5 Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 could my coin be a Herny VIII coin?........i'm not sure y then there are 4 "crowns" on the back...i see that the back of most of these coins have like a coats of arms Quote
Sylvester Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 I don't think it's British.Does it say Henricus? (or something similar?)I've no idea what it is, but you might want to try France. Quote
Sylvester Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 Or maybe Spain.If it's a Henry then it might be Henry IV of France. If it's Spain then the H in the legend might be part of HISP. Quote
Geordie582 Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 I'd tend to agree with Sylvester. The bust rt. has as a legend something that looks like FLP . L. D.G. HIS.....The bust appears to be wearing a ruff, placing it 17/18th century. Just a guess! Quote

mint_mark Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Well, FLP could be a Philip and HIS could be Hispania... we need someone with a catalogue really! Quote
