That's rather interesting. Whoever did it hasn't punched the original right-facing portrait of Edward, but replaced it with one that's full-face. Still looks to be Edward though.
I was wondering who the face could be
 
That's different..most of the repousse coins we see are American with different varieties of lady liberty. First British reference I've seen in one..very cool.

Thanks
 
Very unique find- Congrats!
 
Wow! That really looks like some time and effort went into making it. The face truly does pop through the coin. That's really awesome. Top shelf find.
 
These are created using existing coins and a high pressure press utilizing a single die so they are created in an instant and there is plenty of variety out there as well.
They had their time of popularity when the patent for them was introduced in the early 1900s
 
that's a really cool find. First non-U.S. repousse-punch coin I've seen
 
Very interesting find thanks for sharing :)
 
Thanks all
 
Well, that's different - a cool find !
 
That is wild, definitely a conversation piece
 
I don’t think I’ve even heard of these pop out coins before. So they put a penny in and press it and it stamps it and this comes out? Like a 3D version of an elongated penny?

Very cool! What great find!
