<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 1681180, member: 40017&quot;]Well no one asked for them, but I am going to post some of the others from the lot, just cos I can! :binky:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]251796.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]251797.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Top left - 1875 Shilling. Note the die number (30) just above the date. These were used as part of experiments in the design and construction of coin dies, to find out which lasted longer, or kept their definition better.</p><p>Top right - Old head Crown from 1893. Great big handsome chunks of Silver, this one with the LVI edge for the 56th year of her reign.</p><p>Bottom left - 1887 Double florin (4 shilling) coin with the Arabic one in the date. This one in very nice condition.</p><p>Bottom right - 1849 &quot;Godless&quot; florin, so called because the design omitted the phrase &quot;dei gratia&quot; (by the grace of God) from her title. This caused some consternation, and the design was altered to the Gothic form thereafter, which included the missing title and also switched to Roman Numeral dates.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway enjoy![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
