1731 halfcrown

Recommended Posts

Could I have you expert help please.

I have a George 2nd 1731 halfcrown with the regnal date QVINTO. The "Q" appears to be on its side, is this normal or common for this coin? See pics.

Thanks John

To be fair, even though I am not familiar with the series, it does look like a sideways Q.

That worked fine. It's definitely a Q on its side, but I don't know if that's normal for the year or not.

Thank you guys for your opinion.

I'm not selling it but I was just wondering if I had a rarity. Just wishful thinking! :)

Thanks
