Roger:
If the RI is a spoof on overyone, then why are the Yanks running
away and the Brits lounging in harbor? Why did the coiner(s) make
every effort to expunge vlugtende from below the Brit ship, even
to the point of physically scraping it off some of the coins? Who
could have made it in 1779 with the sort of zinc content it has
but a Brit?
The preponderance of the evidence suggests the piece is pro Brit
propaganda.
You're right about the sideways 4 not being one. Also notice how
the reverse photos are out of alignment (Brit shield goes at the
top).
