Went out this afternoon and as well as the normal buttons and buttons and buttons I got the coin I've been after a pre Vicky not hammered Silver.

But the condition of it is poor to say the least.

I also had what I 1st thought to be a nice groat but turned out to be an unknown medal ? Token? dont know .

Peter any ideas , its a tiny bit bigger than a George 1V shilling (the unknown that is)

It is a "Bristol Medal" silver token, probably from 1811. I can't find a picture, but this is from the text of a book from 1918 which describes these:


JULY 12. BRISTOL MEDAL (? Shilling), Somerset.

38/104 Ob. BRISTOL MEDAL THE XII OF JULY, VIRTUTE, &C.
Rv. Bristol & Welch principality silver medal F GARRATT & FS. HORE
GRIGG. Prosperity to Wales and the City of Bristol, rr

39/104 Differs on Rv., ISSUED BY, added, rrr

40/104 Differs from 38 in having LAM'T BECK between Garratt & Griggs, rrr

41/104 Ob. as 38/104, Rv. similar, but the issuers' names are omitted, the
legend reading PROSPERITY TO WALES & THE CITY OF BRISTOL, rr

So I make it No. 41/104 in this list. Shame it's so damaged, but still a very nice find.
