<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bardolph, post: 4174058, member: 96174&quot;]It is not an exact copy of the 1820 tyoe if George IV half crown. The most obvious difference occurs on the obverse. On the 2/6d coin the end of the right hand ribbon is exactly between the E &amp; X of REX while on CC C&#039;s piece the end of the right hand ribbon almost touches the X.</p><p>Another difference is that on the coin the bottom three laurel leaves on&nbsp; the king&#039;s head are tied with a ribbon which has only one bow or loop while on CCC&#039;s there appears to be a second loop on the left hand side.</p><p>In my opinion this is not a coin nor a counterfeit. George IV came to the throne in 1820, so this could either be a coronation medal, or else a pattern produced to show the proposed design for the new coinage[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
