Between 1919 and 1924, some Irish Self Determination League member(s) took it upon themselves to deface British coins with a political over-strike. The base coins vary in date – this example pre-dates the organisation, therefore whoever did this simply picked coins out of circulation and put them back into circulation.
Does anyone else have an example of this political over-strike?
What are the donor coin denominations + dates?
This example is on a 1918 GB & Ireland bronze penny.
