VIII Star - (Known for 1844 ONLY !)
Spink in their catalogue list this edge for 1845 but I have never seen an example.
"English Silver Coinage" & "British Silver Coins" - neither publications list as having seen this edge for 1845 !
Do you have an example of an 1845 with VIII star - or know of an example exists ?!
****************************
VIII Cinquefoils - 5 leaves. (Known for both 1844 and 1845)
Some people think this is a 5 pointed star - NO it is known as "Cinquefoils".
From the French: Cinque meaning FIVE & foils or (feuilles) meaning leaves.
****************************
VIII 5-spoke-wheel - (Found for 1844 - New discovery Oct. 2025 - 1 only)
Sorry - I can't think of another way to describe the symbol !
Centre wheel hub with 5 thin spokes (NO outer tread, tyre or rim) ! Slightly thicker I I I's
Compare with the 'Cinquefoil' symbol, example, above.
It is possible that like the 'Star' symbol this symbol was only used in 1844 as the 'cinquefoils'
symbol was used in 1844 & 1845. As it has taken this long to notice it is probably quite scarce.
