Paddy Posted March 10 Posted March 10 I have seen quite a few GV fake florins and half crown before, but not many GVI. Made of base metal and too soft, they were contemporary forgeries to fool the general public rather than fakes to fool the collectors. Quote

A bit like all those fake round £1 coins that flooded the market before the 12-sided bi-metal ones were designed to combat forgery. Apparently 3% of pound coins in circulation were estimated to be forgeries at one point. Edited March 10 by Coys55 1 Quote
