I acquired one of these some time ago (Gold Britannia 1 ounce coin). It's legal tender and has a face value of £100, but you'd be crazy to try to spend it as it's worth ten times that.

What is the mark at right? Is it maybe a mintmark -- LIMA or something like that?

^ On the subject of 'Lima', many British silver coins struck in 1745 and 1746 in the reign of George II have this word on their obverse side. It's not a mintmark, but commemorates the capture of a huge amount of silver mined near Lima from Spanish ships in 1742 - this was brought back to the UK and turned into silver coinage by the Royal Mint. Such a display of abrasive triumphalism would be most unlikely these days. Here's a 1745 Half Crown:

The very first coin type struck by the new United States (now confirmed, from 1783), and the first decimal coinage in the Western hemisphere. I think I would be fun to have a pocketful of eyes.
