George III Shilling stamped "JP"

Hi,

Have a look at the attached photo below the bust the letters "JP" are stamped, can any one tell me why this might be done?

Regards,

A lot of coins are disfigured...especially hammered.

It seems with the advent of engineering and tooling (industrial age) this became a bit of a practice.....On a larger scale look at trench art....

In todays world there is far too much choice of entertainment.....30 years ago I might well of been in my garden shed playing with my tools.....

today I'm messing with my keyboard.
