Steve,the silver coloured coin is an old 10p. coin.I have got both of those 1/12 Shilling coins,as they are commemoratives.

And a few more some 5p and 1p including a rather nice Isle of Man 1p Aidan dont realy pay much intereset to the Decimal coinage LOL

De Orc :kewl:

Ps should have added the 1/12ths are going into my collection LOL

 

Steve,I can guess that you would find some of those coins in change like the small 5p. coin & the coppers.Have you ever had coins from Gibraltar,the Falkland Islands,or St. Helena & Ascension turn up in change? Of course,Manx,Guernsey,& Jersey coins do turn up from time to time.

I have had a Gib penny quite some time back and before they went on to the euro a number of 5 pesatas LOL

Steve,Gibraltar is a British colony.It still uses Pounds.It is Spain that was using Pesetas.

Aidan.

 

Aidan did I say Gib issued Pesatas?? No just checked and I did not, what I said was I had recieved some in my change before they went on to the euro!!. I live in the UK we are a member of the EU I travel a lot so I know where Pesatas come from, I know Gib is still a British Colony, I am not thick

 

Steve,it was just the way that you had worded the posting.That's all.

Aidan.

 

Great set, my friend! I know some Polish collectors collecting coins with ERII portrait only - can you imagine?
