The 1745 SIxpence - George II LIMASilver Sixpence from the reign of King George II. Below the bust is 'LIMA'. This indicates the metal came from captured Spanish ships off the coast of the Peruvian city of Lima. The price is only slightly increased by the coin having LIMA on it. SCBC 3710.
The LIMA metal was also used on the 1746 Half-Crown – George II LIMA and the 1745 Shilling – George II LIMA.
The coins can be found with or without LIMA and in the none-LIMA coins there are some 5 over 3 overstrikes.
The Obverse shows a portrait of King George II.
The Reverse shows crowned cruciform shields, Garter star at centre, Legend around with date divided at top.Image credit: M J Hughes Coins
