Finds a Strange Gold Coin.
C. J. Poole, of Troy, N. C., reports having found a strange gold coin while plowing near Harrisville. He describes it as follows:
It is about the size of our silver half dollar; a little larger on the face, but not quite so thick. Obverse—female head and neck long, flowing curly hair, decorated with arrowheads; very prominent face, nose and mouth. Legend—10 Annes, V. D. G. Port, Et. A£g. Rex date 1750. A large capital “R” on bottom of neck and extending almost into the date figures. Reverse—crown coat of arms.
The coin is not quite round, but is evidently in its original shape. It weighs nearly half an ounce. This coin was probably lying in the ground during the Revolutionary War, but where it came from, who lost it or hid it, no one here knows. The coin is in fine condition.
