    I like it a lot, though the cleaning may have put some off. I think the reverse is particularly lovely:

    Yes I agree. Check post #1627 on Page 82, nice one too. Is your coin a Crown?
    I thought I had posted this coin on this thread, but I guess not. This is a 1946 Issue Crown listed as X#M2b in the catalog of unusual Coins.

    I got the probably once in a lifetime chance to hold this coin when I went to visit my coin dealer the other day. He said it is from the first year of Queen Elizabeth's [the first] Reign. 1558? I posted this with some others under World Coins "Old World Photos"

    I was referring to the eye appeal of this particular coin, but you're quite right. A design classic ;). It is indeed a crown. Yours looks nice too. There must be enough Edward VIII fantasy issues to fill a decent catalog all by themselves. In any case the man's coins issued/months reigned ratio must surely be hard to beat :D
