Friends,
It isw one ofr those situations that do not arise very often!
The large Telegraph General Knowledge crossword usually baffles me and I give up because I simply cannot find the answers.
This week both my wife and I have managed for the first time ever to get to the point of not being able to answer just ONE question to complete the grid!
I wondered if our combined brain cells might come up with something?
The clue is:- Space on the reverse of a coin below the main design for the date?
We have wound up with the letters E_E_G_E !
Any ideas would be most welcome! Unfortunately we couldn't try for the £200 prize because we have cerossed out two words and changed the spelling! :'(
Warmest regards, Peter.

Thankyou very much! We tried a Google search but got very bogged down in numismatism and Key dates instead !
Regards, Peter.
Hi Peter, I assume you found :-
Exergue
- The small space beneath the base line of a subject engraved on a coin or medal. It usually contains the date, place, engraver's name, etc., or other subsidiary matter.

Yes, thankyou Malc.
I also attempt that Crossword and generally have to look loads up. I find that adding the word 'crossword' or 'Sat Tel GK' to a search helps - sometimes it brings up a crossword solver site where others have asked the same question ;)
I had to look up exergue too :D
