A modern copy of a Medieval coin. This imitation is copying coins of Edward I (AD 1272 - 1307) but the obverse and reverse appear to be from different coins. The obverse is Class 4c-e (nick in crown, egg waisted S, open E, comma shaped apostrophies, unbarred A) and the reverse is Class 1-3g (Composite S, barred A), London mint. This is not a known mule. The coin can be recognised as a modern imitatoin because it is made from three layers of metal which can be seen on the edge of the coin. It is 19.1mm diameter, 1.4mm thick and 2.76g.

A copper alloy fantasy coin, a cast imitation probably of 20th century manufacture. Its designs are based on reverse designs of Iron Age silver tetradrachms attributed to the Eastern Celtic peoples of the Danube basin. Genuine coins of this type are themselves imitations of tetradrachms of Philip II of Macedon (and his successors) dating from about 400 BC - 100 BC. For the side with the right-facing horseman and the inscription, reading PHILIP[] in Greek, see D Allen, Catalogue of the Celtic Coins in the British Museum, Volume I, Silver coins of the East Celts and Balkan peoples (J Ke…

A Modern coin; a possible imitation milled shilling of George III dated 1820 and stamped with a letter T in the neck. The coin looks like a New Coinage shilling of 1820, number 3790 in Spink's Standard Catalogue. However, the coin is a millimetre larger than the one illustrated in Spink, at 23.6mm diameter and 1.6mm thick, 5.6g. It has a Roman, serifed T stamped sideways on the neck, the base towards the right of the coin. There is also a dent in the top edge of the coin. In other respects, the coin is in very good condition, though the silver has patinated to a dark brown colour. …

A probably modern imitation lead alloy coin in the form of an Early Medieval silver coin. The piece appears to be inspired by a coin of Eadgar (959 - 975), Pre-reform two line type (959 - 973). It is very similar to North number 741, but the moneyer's name is 'NORB/ER' which is not one of the listed possibilities. The finder has had the piece tested using XRF and it is made of a high lead alloy. The crosses in the design seem thinner and cruder than the illustrated genuine coins. The piece is 22.63mm in diameter and 1.4mm thick. It weighs 3.9g.
