Hi to all CT friends. I hope you are all doing great. I want to see if someone can identify this coin please. Thank you so much
I'd guess halfpenny from Great Britain. It also could logically be from Australia or New Zealand but I think off the top of my head the design is slightly different. But unfortunately every British Commonwealth coin has a picture of the queen and you posted three pictures of that side instead of the other side, which are all different depending on country. If it's a picture of a boat, it's British.
Lol - I saw that and had to post one of my all time favorite songs, Both Sides Now by Joni Mitchell (1968) - enjoy!
LOL. But hold on .... Is Siberian Man linking the image Queen of England to Antarctica? Wow, that is cold!!! I do not think the coin is Canadian as the F : D is not found on Canadian coins that I know from this era, presumably 1960s.
I believe it is a GB Half Penny as well. Unless the reverse is really worn down it should have the denomination and date on it.
Scale is wrong for a halfpenny - they are only just larger than a quarter, so it is a penny. Can still be either Britain or Australia as far as I can see - they used the same obverse I believe. So GB Penny 1961 to 1967 OR Australia Penny 1955 to 1964.
British or Australian large penny. As @PaddyB mentioned, it is too large to be a halfpenny. Since both say ONE PENNY on the reverse, why is this even a mystery? I guess a non-British person could be forgiven for not recognizing the country on a British penny, but the Australian ones say AUSTRALIA on them, with a big kangaroo. They're about as unmistakable as a coin can get.
There is a British Antarctica Territory since 1962 - coins were issued beginning in 2008 in £2 denomination: http://www.chiefacoins.com/Database/Countries/British_Antarctic_Territory.htm
