Fake British Coins

[HistoricCoinage]

Here is my latest £1 coin forgery, a mule with the new shield reverse, muled with a 1998 Jersey obverse

Wow. That is a very poor fake!

Of course, if it's a new obverse muled with the old (portcullis) style reverse, that would be interesting.

But I've yet to see one of those ... Apparently 180,600,000 of the old style were issued together with 507,952,000 new 'shield' style coins in 2008. Most likely you have one of each larsselleth.

Two mules are possible for each of 2008 circulation coins with the exception of £2 which still has two rings of teeth/dots (I think). the 50p is least obvious as it's a change in orientation relative to the shape of the blank. Certainly worth an occasional glance at change
