  • Other– bought this 1908 British halfpenny in Cape Town years back. Reason I got it is because it had numbers and dates stamped onto it. I was first told that it is almost impossible to get any meaning from "random numbers" on coins as it is not easy to put it into any context. After some research I found that they are not that random at all. These are regiment numbers of two Canadian brothers from WW1. 105 was the 105th Overseas Battalion. 712234 belonged to the younger brother Robert Walter Warren ( born 13/03/1897) and the other to his older brother, Wellington Pope Warren (born 22/03/1896). They were from Prince Edward Island and inlisted in 1915 and 1916. Wellington died on the 8 of August 1918, the first day of the Battle of Amiens. He is buried in the Toronto cemetery in Demuin, France. The younger brother also died in combat on the 24th and was laid to rest in the Hillside Cemetery near Somme, France. It still a mystery why their numbers ended up on this coin and how it found its way into a coin scratch patch in Cape Town.
