Talk:Great Recoinage of 1696

Question
When people turned in their old coins, what were they paid in? Was it paper notes? If so, would these have not been majorly counterfeited themselves?--Jrm2007 (talk) 03:37, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Coin 1696
Rare this coin is, on the front depicts the King with worn words on the coin smooth edges and a hammered look. " GVLIEEMVS III*DEI*GRA" is what it looks like?. On the rear ET*HIB*REX*1696* MAG much of this worn. Has 4 symbols of the family hertiage one worn beyond recognition, opposite of lions fluer-de-lis3, a harp, and 1696 above the lions3. It appears to be weighty and silverish in tone. 159.118.36.76 (talk) 17:59, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
