Angry Looking St George, Is it SBCV-1991?
« on: October 05, 2017, 11:54:35 pm »
I believe it to be SBCV-1991, does not look like example on wildwinds though.  No legend either.

4..4 gm

30mm but slightly flattened I believe.  Interesting Piece.

Very unusual wear pattern.  I wonder if this coin was tooled?  But who would want to tool a coin like this?   Odd.

Does not look tooled, however, St George looks different, almost like a cherub.

The coin is Matching Isaac SBCV-1991 but with no inscription to be seen, its difficult to be sure.
