If anyone has an image, which they personally own, of a LIMA type guinea or six pence, I would greatly appreciate permission to use it for a short article I am trying to put together for a newsletter.

Thanks!

    I have one. I just scanned it for you; neither the coin nor the scan are particularly top-rate. image

    I had no idea Lima minted British coinage. Would you post the article you're working on once it's finished, Ricke?

    Lima didn't - at least, not directly. The bullion for these coins came from Lima-minted Spanish dollars captured by Admiral Anson.

    1,313,843 silver dollars - that's a lot of shillings. image
