Description Heavily defaced portrait of the King to make an obvious political statement. The coin is clean and undamaged which is very unusual for these large and heavy pieces. This example was in the seller's family for several generations. Both his father and grandfather were serious collectors and he well remembers his father using the coin as a paperweight in his office. Purchased from Martin Allen / Hillingdon, West London, UK. (Ju. 5, 2022) ($4).
