Raoul Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 Found this sov that someone had turned into a pendent, " what a waste of a beautiful coin" in about 5 feet of water while detecting one of our beaches in West Australia. I'm curious to know what the cut out insigmia means,if anyone knows i would be pleased to find out. Raoul Quote
mint_mark Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 Looks like the Greek letter Pi to me... or it would from the other side.Pi is the symbol for the mathematical constant of course, but it probably means something else here... I also thought it might be a symbol for one of the signs of the Zodiac, but it doesn't look like any of those. Quote
Emperor Oli Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 It looks quite stylised to be pi but then again I could be wrong. I thought it looked like an oriental letter of some sort - could it be some sort of club? Quote
william Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 One thing's certain though, it'll only be worth bullion value now! But holed and damaged coins are pretty interesting; they've got history! Quote
Sylvester Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 What is the date on that exactly, 1926 or 1826? Quote

Sylvester Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 Looks like 1926 to me Well it should be 1926 otherwise we've got problems... Quote
Chris Perkins Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 What a strange thing that is, why and how would anyone do that? Maybe it's a secret club symbol, you know, funny handshakes, right nipples out, and all that.Maybe it was cursed or something, and that's why it was thrown away Quote

Emperor Oli Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 Lucky! Btw, happy birthday! Thanks very much William and Chris for the PM Quote
Chris Perkins Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 You're welcome, now I'm just going to slate you in some other areas... Quote
Guest Guest Posted April 11, 2004 Posted April 11, 2004 Hello everyone,I haven't collected coins for years.I have a mostly worthless tin of coins in the attic but they have a lot of memories for me.Anyway back to the topic....The symbol on the sovereign is the first Hebrew letter for yaweh or Jehovah-God to you or me.By the way Chris,nice site I still enjoy reading about coins even if I don't collect these days.
