One of the most recognisable is the &quot;Druid penny&quot; manufactured from copper mined on the island of Anglesey in North Wales where the Druids took their last stance against the occupying roman army.</p><p>This is the book.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1643148[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>And this is the coin.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1643149[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1643150[/ATTACH] </p><p>Edge legend reads &quot;payable on demand in London, Liverpool and Anglesey&quot;.</p><p>i haven&#039;t researched this yet but I guess this big lump of copper was actually worth one penny in 1787.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
