basecamp Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 Hi all,my latest aquisition has me scratching my head. It appears to be copper and 20mm in diameter. My best research indicates its a Charles I Scottish Bodle (twopence), The visible legend reads; EMO . ME . IMPVN (possibly NEMO ME IMPUNE LACESSET with a V instead of a U in IMPUNE) on one side and; CAR . DG . SCOT . AN (possibly CRDG SCOT ANG FR ET HIB) on the other (the edge of a thistle is also visible).However other examples I have found do not have a symbol 'II' to the right hand side of the crown and above the 'R' symbol as mine does, does this indicate it could be a Charles II Scottish Bodle? I know the answer will be obvious to many of you, but I have only been collecting coins since April!If the picture hyperlink below does not work when you click on it try pasting it into your address bar;http://aycu17.webshots.com/image/23536/200...78939268_rs.jpgMany thanks in anticipation.

scottishmoney Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 Indeed it is a Charles I bodle or turner. The II in Roman numerals denotes the value. Other than that with the image being dark(at least on my monitor) I cannot yet break it down by subtype etc. Quote
