Thanks for the link leading me to all there is to know about what my friend called a 'Kings Penny'. Photos, history and stories about, what is known as, Dead Man's Penny all prove to be about the one my friend has and he was equally pleased as me.
I tried commenting on my blog to thank you but not possible, so thought you must have tried also without being able to, hence you using the news article about Arthur Rosewarne. Thanks a lot.
