Wow, that is a cool hunk of silver, never seen one before! Here is a 2016 Britannia 2 pound, alas, not silver though...and a bit circulated.

Wow, that's the oldest Britain coin I have ever seen or heard of. Here is one I gave to a fellow CT member a while back, Edward I hammered silver penny, London mint, ca. 1279-1307 AD.

 

I'm not sure if this is a legal move here but if we move from a coin with an age range is it fair to use a different country with a similar age range?

I think it has to be same date/ like if last coin posted was a 1497 AV Goldgulden from Hamburg/ then you could can post anything from either 1497 or any German State

 

That makes sense, but what if the coin before has a year range? Would a range nearby (or entirely within the first coins range) be suffice? Or if you had a single year type that was within the first coins range would that be okay? I like having coins with year ranges because it really opens the gates for pre-1500 coinage but I have wondered how to move on from year ranges.

 

I may have screwed up by posting that date range penny, sorry 'bout that. One can always go back to page 1 and see what guidelines the OP laid out. Could play it safe and just post another coin of England or Great Britain, no matter what date.

 

I think for undated coinage, this makes sense. For example I have a Roman Aureus that is undated, but it was known to have been struck 286AD Cyizcus Mint, thus 286AD and any coin struck under Rome would be OK.

 

Will do...

I'll bring it a little closer to our times, but I do have to say the Celtic coins are some of my favorite ancients. They're so artistic and beautiful.
