Art Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Both beautiful. I had to go with the token. It's an unfair thing to make me choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuldFartte Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 You know ... I just might have a shot at winning this thing I love 'em both, but it's York for me, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperor Oli Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 I'm in the minority, going for the half crown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syzygy Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 I'm in the minority, going for the half crown. I do like that half crown a lot, but there is no way I can let that beautifuly high-detailed architecture on the York go unvoted for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ætheling Posted October 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 I don't like th halfcrown (it's not Auld Fartte's coin in particular it the overall design that i don't like, never have). Now if it had been a 1900 Florin, i would have backed it the whole way through. The florins (and shillings) were the best design of the old head coinage.

Guest Stujoe Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 I mostly like the reverse of the Halfcrown (I think everyone knows my opinion of that obverse ) but I like both sides of that token! Nice one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ætheling Posted October 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 I don't like the old head obverse either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ætheling Posted October 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 About 15 minutes left on this... but i think it's quite clear who the winner is and nearly as clear about which coin has won! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ætheling Posted October 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Should i break it to him gently or scream from the rooftops that Auldfartte has won?! Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ætheling Posted October 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 It was a close one but i'm glad that that particular Auldfartte won, i'm not keen on the other Auldfartte that didn't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NumisMattic2200 Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I have two reasons for voting for the York coin/token The first is due to it's beautiful artistic design, the second is because I live nearby in South Yorkshire, England and have been right up to the landmarks it depicts, Clifford's tower and what appears to be it's famous Minster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
