    John Skelton Morgan man!

    But not for long, I figure, because someone here knows what it is. I just picked it out of the reject pocket of my local Coinstar machine.

    Okay, I realize it's English five pence, but is there anything else about it I should know? I just found it and rushed home to post it here.

    If you get all of the coins of the same year, and put them together, it makes the royal shield.
