Would love to see some examples.....Seems like a while back someone showed a really neat 1804 Bank of England Dollar overstruck Chilean

This Yorkshire halfpenny shows many of the features of the underlying North Wales token (show rotated for comparison.)

Here's one with underlying design still visible - one of the castles from the reverse of a Spanish Colonial 8 Reales.

Here's another piece with a ship visible as part of the undertype.

Joao VI 960 Reis 1817B struck over a Spanish colonial 8R. These can be fun coins to try to determine where the host coin was minted.

Mystery undertype!

Each of these UK pieces date from the 1790's (but conceivably could have been struck later)
and are about 36mm. There is a similar pattern in the background as yet unidentified.

Anyone Recognize it?
