I figured it was to forge coins ? Fake onesJust amazing ! - Someone melted lead
on the English coin to use it later as a
pendant.
I got two cartwheel penny’s the trident thing does match but think cart wheel penny’s a little boggerTwo pences"cartwheel", of George III.
I worked with lead most of my active life .I figured it was to forge coins ? Fake ones
You know more than me mate so take ur word cheersI worked with lead most of my active life .
I guess lead is not appropiate for using as
mould for forging coins
Hi Jonny we found a similar thing here in France this week... And discovered that they were basically a price tag for sacks of flour and over things. Maybe for those that were illiterate and couldn't write a price tag or those that were buying and couldn't read a price tag. On the reverse of the one we found there was another imprint of a coin that had been scratched out for the change in price..I found a round piece of lead that’s been whore as a pendant with the imprints of a old Britannia on as well as a big round piece of lead
Hey Ann don’t think it’s a bag seal thing or anything off a bag/sack it’s bloody huge it was on a farmers field I’m guessing either lead token or a attempt at a forgery of a cartwheel penny that’s a king George the third coin was in commission for a few years then removed people said it was to big to heavy etc intact here look I’ll take a pic of one I’ve gotHi Jonny we found a similar thing here in France this week...

Cool thank you I found a co op token other week from World ear 2 I thinkMine is the same but with a french coin imprint...
It corresponds with where I live as it had its own water run flour mill and farm... The french sites that I've looked at all say it was basically a price tag to show the value of a sack of flour...
