Numinen Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Hi I just got this in a lot I bought and need to know what coin & estimated value as I propoly gona put it for sale. it seemes to be Silver & weight is 0.99 gram Georg II the picture in his yanger days it lookes like. The Official Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is there & on the left, the shield is supported by the English Lion & On the right it is supported by the chained Unicorn of Scotland. Below the shield parts of the English motto can be read Dieu et mon Droit. Thanks for all help in advance! Best Regards to all Muminen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drusus Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 It doesnt look like any george II coin I have ever seen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hussulo Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 It certainly isn't an official George II coin. All George II busts face left not right. The reverse is unlike any I’ve come across. The bust is to crudely engraved, the reverse is weakly stuck. It is more likely to be a medal or a token. Interesting piece though needs more research.
