<p>[QUOTE="scottishmoney, post: 4855769, member: 12789"]In the Middle East, likely Lebanon they were making them as monetary counterfeits in the 1950's-1970's. A monetary counterfeit will be just a fake with the correct weight and fineness of precious metal not made to fool numismatists but used as a trade coin. British sovereigns were the most counterfeited - in Muslim countries they did not want gold coins with Queen Elizabeth II on them so the forgers there were minting King George VI coins - especially the 1925 date.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
