VIII Cinquefoils - 5 leaves. (Known for both 1844 and 1845)
Some people think this is a 5 pointed star - NO it is the cinquefoils.
From the French: Cinque = FIVE & foils (feuilles) = leaves.
VIII Star - (Known for 1844 ONLY !)
it does not look that much like a star to me but I cannot think of a better description !
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 ?!
