    I bought this coin several years ago because I was intrigued by the shield counterstamped on it. While it has a military look to it, it could represent something entirely different. Any thoughts or comments are welcomed.

    Oh, that's an intriguing one. Looks almost like a Polish eagle, but maybe not quite?

    1911 Jersey 1/12 shilling. Found this one recently in a desk drawer, where it had been lost for several years. 1911 Jersey 1-12 s obv.JPG 1911 Jersey 1-12 s rev.JPG

    1887 GB double florin. Known as "The barmaids' ruin" since it was easy to confuse this 4 shilling coin with a 5 shilling crown. 1887 GB 2 florin obv.JPG 1887 GB 2 florin rev.JPG
