constanius Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Scottish Charles II (1649-1685) Scottish copper Turner or Bodle (twopence) 1663 issue. 19mm. From the: HANDBOOK OF THE COINS OF GREAT BRITAIN. Page 206 Copper 207, Turner Ist issue Obv. CAR.D.G.SCOT.ANG.FRA.ET.HIB.R;m.m. cross of five pellets. Crown above C.R.; on r., mark of value II (=2d). Rev.NEMO.ME.IMPVNE.LACESSET.thistle with leaves, not crowned AE.8 wt 40.8 The II may be for the current value of the coin or may be for "secundus" To give some idea of 'value' a quart of the best ale or beer by measure sealed cost 1d in 1625. So for that turner/bodle or half groat you could have had about 4 pints of beer in 1663. The latin NEMO.ME.IMPVNE.LACESSET stands for 'Dunna mess wit me or y'll git a Glasgy kiss', or in english 'No one shall hurt me with impunity' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankBa Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 I have one of these and am interested in knowing if there is any value. The one I have is in a bit better shape than the one shown here. Can you help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 to get an idea of `value', you'll need to post a pic or two so that the over-all condition can be gauged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
