Large 1914 coin - ***SOLVED**

I dug this 1914 coin today at the early 1900's house I've been detecting at lately. At first I thought I had dug a large cent, but unfortunately it was not to be. :BangHead:
Does anyone know what it is?
Country and $ amount?
It measures 30mm.

I was thinking maybe it's a coin brought back from WW1? :dontknow:

Thanks for your help,
MM

NEAT coin! I'm not the coin person, but it looks like George V British penny. I'm sure CRUSADER or some of the other Brits could tell you exactly what it is.

I'm loving this yard :)

Thanks Breezie. If it's a 100 yr old British coin then that must be a MODERN coin across the pond. :tongue3:
Maybe brought back from WW1 then. :dontknow:

Thanks HD. :thumbsup: We'll consider this one solved as a 1914 one penny from Great Britain. Here are a few pix I found on Ebay.

Neat penny. Keep at it and you may dig some really old stuff on that property.

Great job! Those are some huge coins aren't they. Can't imagine toting a pocket full of those around. :tongue3:
100 yrs old isn't too shabby. :thumbsup:
