(WP:NFCC#1)
This image might be replaceable with a free equivalent if an editor owns such a coin. All of the other images I have seen online are likely under copyright as none are from government/free sources. The free image would ideally be of the same quality as the non free image it replaces.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) Top of page. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of countermarked (gin) coins for which it serves as a visual identification. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed at the top of the article discussing these coins, to show the primary visual image associated with the them, and to help the user quickly identify the coins and know they have found what they are looking for.
