A few minutes to spare, so a bit more info on another one of this lot - the Fourpence in the bottom right corner. So called "undated" fourpence...
They came from a contact I made through the Bridge club. It has taken me months of negotiating to agree terms as they belonged to his deceased...
An interesting question! To be honest I do not know if Britain's traditional distrust of the French played a part - maybe someone else can...
Sort of - described in the books as "2 over inverted 2" and no more or less common than the straight version.
Yes - but that is a coincidence. You get the same cypher on the Crown - which is 60 pennies. Here is my 1692 Crown with the same cypher - and yet...
I don't think I want to answer any of those questions! :angelic2:
I would love to spend more time telling everyone much more about these coins, and I hope to add to this thread with just this info as I can....

The hunt is now on for Richard III's son. This article from the BBC has some interesting info on a forgotten character of medieval history....
Not many medieval kings could claim to be "angelic" in any way! Richard III's only fault was to be on the losing side, and as we know, history is...
