<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4592931, member: 19463"]There are many solid silver (of varying alloys) coins of the period. There is no reason to equate being unofficial with being plated or poorly made. The term I prefer is 'money of necessity'. When there is no reliable source of official, regular coinage, it is quite reasonable to do it yourself. Possibly it was even done with Imperial permission. We will never know. The coins below are neither official style nor plated.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1137228[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1137229[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1137230[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1137231[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
