Florence Nightingale Saves Private Ryan On 1876H Bun Penny This penny has a story to tell. Maybe not Private Ryan and maybe not the actual Florence Nightingale but pretty close to that, by the looks of it. The engraving on this coin has the characteristics of similarly engraved coins that emerged from the many African conflicts in the latter part of the 19th century that involved Britain. The engraving is unfinished but the bonnet and bow on the head of the Queen look as though there is a definite influence from similar engravings we see on South African silver coins in particular, where the bust of Paul Kruger is adorned with hat, collar and pipe. Perhaps the name will ring a bell with someone and the real story can emerge to give this fascinating artifact some real provenance.The coin is 30.6mm diameter and it weighs a skinny 8.34g.
