Title: Re: Token?? Post by: Val Beechey on March 30, 2014, 03:56:18 PM Hi Paul, that's a weird one. Had a quick look around but as you know there seem to be hundreds of the darn things. For One shilling and Six Pence I'd have said not that old. We can remember when that bought a fair bit ;) ::)
The most common one for that denomination was a silver George 111 Nice unusual find. Sorry can't help. Val Title: Re: Token?? Post by: dragonsbreath(Paul) on March 30, 2014, 09:21:01 PM Thanks for reply Val anyone out there got any idea please?
Title: Re: Token?? Post by: Chef Geoff on March 30, 2014, 09:34:52 PM It's certainly a strange one Paul as it seems to say "Our" shilling and sixpence and being that small and of copper alloy I really can't think what it was or could be used as other than some type of promissory coin ???
