Well guys , went out saturday and i must of ran over a chinaman. A total of 1c no joke. Not much left in Beverley so we went to York sunday and i did well...
Thought it was just another buckle untill we cleaned it and seen the cricket bats up top and wickets and ball down the bottom. Anyone know if this is a rare one?
TIA!

"Commo wealth" on the penny is interesting! What happened to the "N" ?

Dave79 · Sep 23, 2019

Good spotting Megsy, never heard of that typo, could be another one of Marcs amazing finds

Good to see another old farthing surface, that penny is indeed unusual. Can't really find any info on it, must be a one off error or the "N" was removed somehow.

It was done by the Commo party as a trial of their new currency
