It is a replica of the `Kirkcaldy Penny&#039;, a privately struck token made during the currency shortages in the UK during the reign of George III. The replica is perfect in every detail excepting for the microscopic `replica&#039; just below the tranche. Even the original engravers name `WYON&#039; is perfect (on the tranche itself).</p><p><br /></p><p>This particular example has incused into the edge `Graduate School of Business&nbsp; University of Chicago&#039;. I can only surmise that some bright spark did his/her&nbsp; research when looking for a suitable `medal&#039; to use as an award / graduation memento. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s the only example of a replica of the Kirkcaldy Penny i&#039;ve come across. Come to think of it, i&#039;ve only ever come across one example of the original `penny&#039; token as well but sadly it is with the museum and not in my collection. Maybe one day though.......[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
