<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 26205851, member: 40017&quot;]Ah, I think the reason it is so worn is because it is a penny, not a twopence. Diameter and/or weight would confirm, but the relative position of the features suggests to me that it is a penny. On the twopence, the centre point of the trident points to the right hand down stroke of the second N of Britannia, whereas on the penny it points to half way between the N and the I.</p><p>Whereas the twopence never won favour and was often stashed away as a souvenir, the penny saw heavy circulation until the Victorian era.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
