William Pitt

I'm not sure how this coin ended up in my collection, but has anyone here seen one before? Any value? Thanks!

I don't believe it's a coin, but certainly a medal of some kind.

I've not seen it before, but I would expect it would be worth only melt in that condition.

For a moment, I thought you were referring to the colonial Pitt token:



That is one instance where having a copper one would be better than the silver you have!

Yours is pretty interesting, though. Like Askari said, it is probably only worth
melt value of one ounce of silver, but the design is cool- wonder what those
six lions are all about?

They look like they're about to shake hands (paws): "Ayyy, put 'er there, pardnerrr! Wassup?"

Here's the main info page on Pitt tokens. I got the picture from there.
(Not that that will help you on your silver round any...)

Thanks for your help Lord!! You're always very helpful...

My pleasure. Any time you are looking for an answer on a silver round, and you need somebody to post a picture of a completely unrelated copper colonial issue, I'm the guy!

Rob, I could learn to hate you for that"ship" pic or, of course be honest and say I love it..........
