Silver Spoon with old coins
Posted: Thu Dec 04, 2008 3:23 pm
Hello,
I have a spoon with two intriguing coins on them. The larger one I can identify (1806 George III), the other smaller one is a mystery.
The embossed letters I can make out are:
MASSAE on the left
Shield and crown in the middle
M* BE * A*A on the left
On the reverse there is a relatively long word of about 10 letters and the last letters are the only genuinely legible ones. ?????RINO
Any ideas?
Thanks
The small coin
Both sides of the George III coin
