The text seems to say 1 M of a crown but that makes no sense and the letters on the other side of the jubilee head read L: CHR LAUER. When I type this into a web browser it brings up German Third Reich Tinnies. I know that the Mountbatten's were from Germany and that there is a strong connection to Germany with the Royal family but I can't find this coin anywhere, if it is a coin at all!!! The size of the coin is 13mm or half an inch which is the smallest British coin I have ever seen. Does anyone know what it is or can anyone help.</p><p><br /></p><p>Gerard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
