The coin has approximately the same diameter as an old (pre-decimal) one penny coin but is much much thicker - thicker than today's one pound coin.
On one side is Shakespeare's portrait with the words ADMIT TO MY PLAIE above the portrait and the words ONE PENNY IN THE YARD below the portrait.
On the other side of the coin, there is an image of the Globe Theatre with the words SHAKESPEARE'S GLOBE above and 1599-1642 below.
Anybody got any ideas please?
The coin is very solid,and its general appearance and immense thickness suggest it was not cheap to produce which hints that it may really be old.
