COIN

Unique ID: SWYOR-DC3013

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

An unidentified post Medieval copper alloy coin. One face has a crowned oval shield, but the other face is illegible. There are traces of silvering on the surface, suggesting that the coin is a fake of a silver coin. It is likely to be Georgian, and may be a copy of a half crown. However, the design is not correct so it may be a fantasy piece used for gaming.
