Olá pessoal! eu estava na casa de um amigo quando percebe que ele segurava uma moeda e logo após me veio a curiosidade de onde tal moeda viria, após alguns minutos de pesquisa descobrir que era uma moeda da "britania", "Geórgia" no entanto está em um estado degradado, que poderia ser provinda de tal tempo, queria saber como eu faria pra indentificar se essa moeda e realmente verdadeira e qual seria o valor estimado de tal peça, uma moeda de bronze linda por sinal, e se confirmado ser realmente uma moeda guardada por gerações creio que a um grande valor para colecionadores.

There really is no need to affirm that the coin was a denomination of sterling. It was a British coin of the modern era, so of course it was sterling. There is no obvious reason to emphasize that fact unless it is to make a WP:point of no interest to readers. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 23:58, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
