3 old buttons and a coin

« on: July 12, 2011, 10:50:47 PM »

buttons have been found within 1 mile radius, are they off military clothing? their not all the same but are similar. Ive had a quick look on the net but cant seem to ID.

Same situation with the coin, cant seem to find anything that matches.

Thanks in advance Tongue

Hi Rhyso, Yes they are all General Service Buttons from WWI, the "coin" is a very interesting one as it's a commemorative coronation piece for Edward VII however he wasn't crowned until August.
He had been scheduled to be crowned on the 26 June but on the 24th he developed appendicitis and it had to be postponed. So I would think it is quite a rare piece.
