Title: Any ideas anyone?
Post by: rainyday on May 30, 2018, 04:57:39 PM
Found this on farm land on Monday, it’s slightly thicker than a pound coin and had a D XXX on one side, I can’t make out the other side. Could it be a weight?
I’ve tried searching but no luck.
Thanks
D

Oooh where there are coin weights it imply there were also the relevant coins to be weighed!

Get back there!

Great find

Neil
