I found a coin

[Guest jamesy]

I found this coin when i was building my new house, It's 22mm x 0.9mm has a face on one side pointing east and writing around it. The other side is like a pattern with a crown on top with a point. It's bronze. Found in Northern Ireland. Anybody know what it is??and how to clean it.

I think it's a George III shilling 1816-20 but given the amount of verdigris, it may be a contemporary forgery - almost as common as the real thing. I can't tell anything from the reverse, which just appears to be a mass of corrosion. To find the date, try scratching at the legend under the head. If it is genuine, it will have a value as a result of being 92.5% silver but otherwise nothing.

Just a tip - still photos (or scans) are much easier to see than a video! Especially where the camera seems to have had a few bevvies
