george 111 coin

[Guest nigel stocker]

I have a george 111 coin. It measures 24mm in diameter, Brass coloured and is dated 1788.

On the tails side around the outside is the letters C-P-E-V-E-R-E-L-L-L-E-L-A-A-T-E-M-CA-R-R-O-L-L-M-A-K-E-R

I CANT FIND ANY COINS WITH THIS LETTERING ON CAN ANYONE HELP.

Regards

Does it have a spade shaped shield on the tails side?

There were lots of brass tokens made with all sorts of words and letters round the edge. They were not forgeries, but made as gaming counters and designed to look like spade guineas of George III.
