<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KLJ, post: 38690, member: 1910&quot;]I would say that an English coin is a coin issued under the authority of the King (or Queen) of England for the use of the Kingdom of England.&nbsp; A British coin is one issued under the authority of the King (or Queen) of the United Kingdom of Great Britain (and Ireland/Northern Ireland, when appropriate) for the use of the United Kingdom.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do understand that by my definition, coins of the Empire (as opposed to the Commonwealth) could be considered &quot;British.&quot;&nbsp; I would argue that if such coins were minted for use in the colonies (even if they were minted in Great Britain), they were coins OF those colonies/dominions, rather than of Great Britain.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
