<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1222494, member: 12789&quot;]My earliest dated British coin is a gold 22/- of Queen Mary of Scotland that is dated 1553.&nbsp; Indeed, dates on British coins were sporadic until 1662 when the last of the hammered coins were minted and the Royal Mint began minting all coins using machinery.&nbsp; I have several other later Scots and English coins that are known to have been minted in only a particular year - but they don&#039;t have dates.&nbsp; I believe putting a year on a coin was really not recognised as being very significant then.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
