Coin Artists To The World?

Question

I have found a coin necklace in my attic,the enamel is a very dark red on one side and a very dark blue on the other,it appears to be on a gold chain with a gold embossment of Queen Elizabeth II and the feathered arms on the reverse side.The writting says D.C.RED.F.D.1981 and the coin itself appears to be protected by glass over the enamel.

I have a certificate of authenticity signed by J.Howlett,and the company name says Carpenter and Howlett,however I have searched for this company and have been unable to find it.Can anyone tell me anything about them and/or about this coin?

Answer 1

It is a British 2p piece which has been enameled.  Not very valuable, if at all.  You can buy similar in lots of shops along Regents Street.
