chrislamb Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 I found this coin while metal detecting, I could not make anything out so I got to work with a cleaning tool just to see if anything came out, & I was very suprised to see a war elephant on one side & possibly Britania riding a horse on the reverse!!!Does anyone have any ideas about this coin???http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/3228/elephantcoinjk7.jpghttp://img241.imageshack.us/img241/2595/el...treversexv1.jpg Quote
Chris Perkins Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 That's a Coventry Halfpenny Conder token I believe.It's actually a naked Lady Godiva on the obverse. It's circa 1792. Quote
