<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 8165264, member: 74863&quot;]Just a token really but it’s an interesting one. Dated 1795, it’s a Coventry Half Cent. Yes, they were used in circulation when coins were hard to get. </p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse is Lady Godiva riding a horse. Notice her right hand is covering her bared breast. At least it’s not worn to bad. The words “PRO BONO PUBLICO” are around the rim from 9 to 3 o’clock. Meaning she’s naked in public. </p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse is Gov. Cross in the tower peeping at her. His name is at 7-5 o’clock. From 8-4 o’clock are the words “COVENTRY HALFPENNY”. I consider this a wonderful neat addition to my collection.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1425581[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1425582[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
