I wouldn't put it past them. I'm sure there are also plenty of gaps in Numista's database, but I've come to rely on them for a lot more lately,...
The lettering in ONE SHILLING looks wonky, and gives the whole thing that familiar "Made In China" appearance. I wouldn't be surprised if the...
Neat. I stumbled across one myself, a few years ago.
Try Bern (Switzerland). Their crest is a bear climbing a wall. I haven't looked for it, but I'm pretty sure it is indeed a coin (a minor...
