    That's pretty cool. I've never seen a counterstruck Crown before.

    @KiwiNumi it’s not counterstruck, those are two coins.

    They're all not even trying, anyway... that Pill should be on a 1970s Panama 5 oz. hockey puck!!

    I once successfully bid on an auction lot humorously called “little and large”, featuring two bronze coins that were an unlikely pair- a large bronze Ptolemy IIi from Egypt (about 40mm and 50g), ~250 BCE, and a small English Northumbrian styca (about 12mm and 1g), ~850 CE. A very odd combination of coins into a single lot.

    I bought the lot for the little coin, an extremely rare king and moneyer combination for the Northumbrian coin, whose rarity is only eclipsed by the rarity of collectors who care about such things. The Ptolemaic bronze is impressive in size, but exceptionally common.
