British 1746 Half Crown

Portugal 5 Reis 1746:

 

1746 British halfcrown, S-3695A 1746/5 (6 over 5 overdate die), LIMA

Purchased on a trip to London at a coin shop across the street from The British Museum main entrance. Wonderful souvenir.

The 6 over 5 overdate compared to 45 and 46.



From https://collections.museumvictoria.com.au/items/58408 The word LIMA below the King's bust records that this coin was struck with bullion seized by Admiral Anson during his world voyage (1739-1743) or by other privateers in the Atlantic. The word LIMA was added to the coin at the request of the Bank of England to commemorate the exploits. Much of the Spanish coin captured bore the Lima mint mark.

Edge Description
In raised lettering, DECVS ET TVTAMEN ANNO REGNI DECIMO NONO.

From https://coinsite.com/what-does-decus-et-tutamen-mean/
DECVS ET TVTAMEN - This legend, often seen on lettered edges of some English Coins, is Latin for: An ornament and a safeguard. It first appeared on the edge of all early large milled silver coins as a warning against “clipping”. It also appears on the edge of current U.K. and Northern Ireland one pound coins.


ANNO REGNI DECIMO NONO – Year of reign 19

My next 1739.

We must be on to '44 by now? British 1744 Farthing:

 

1744 VOC Utrecht duit. This is probably the rarest duit I have, "RR" in Scholten. Then a 2 stuiver thin silver coin, and a West Frisiae VOC duit.

 

1744 Action off Toulon (Medallic Illustrations II, 584/224, Eimer 582)
