What does Cinquefoil stops VIII on British coins mean?
A "Cinquefoil" is a five petal flower. It is used in heraldry to indicate "mastery over self". Cinquefoils are often found on coins as a decoration. Cinquefoil stops were often used on the edges of some coins, notably the British Crown (Five Shillings), to enclose the Regnal date (usually in Roman numerals) of the King or Queen, most commonly, Queen Victoria's coins. The VIII within the cinquefoil stops indicate that it is the 8th year of the reign of that particular King or Queen. A British Crown with a Regnal date of VIII would be an 1844 Queen Victoria Crown coin.
