Title: Re: found thisa while ago Post by: Val Beechey on March 11, 2015, 01:39:02 PM That's a strange one Mark. It's too fancy for a token and I don't think it's a Jetton. Can't see the inscriptions too well.
How about a pocket astrological guide. Sorry can't think of the more common name off hand.

Title: Re: found thisa while ago Post by: Val Beechey on March 11, 2015, 03:33:58 PM Nice one Mark. And don't forget it's just a s interesting as the real thing. It's just as old and gives more info on the social status of an area than an original coin.
So much for my Astronomical Coin. I did find one on Google but it was Chinese ;D :o ::) Val Title: Re: found thisa while ago Post by: Val Beechey on March 11, 2015, 03:58:10 PM Hey, you're not going to believe this but, take a look. Think I'll move.
