<p>[QUOTE="wddlltry, post: 853275, member: 24481"]Hi, and thanks for your interest. I am organising authentification later this week, but believe it appears to be a Great Britain Penny. Because it is a double obverse, the head of King George VI shows on both sides (it's a 'double-header'). Each side bears the inscription, "GEORGIVS VI D:G:BR:OMN:REX FIDEI DEF." and bears the designers initials 'HP' under the bust. No date or mint mark is evident. Australian pennies of this period (1938-1952) bear the inscription "GEORGIVS VI D:G:BR:OMN:REX F<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />:IND:IMP", so I doubt it is Australian.</p><p>I am organising photos as well as the authentification, so send me you email address if you like and I will be happy to share my findings. I don't know whether I can attach images to these messages.</p><p>Best regards,</p><p>Robert P. Waddell[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
