Sir Sisu Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Here is an interesting little item I picked up not too long ago. I could not resist. A small medal, issued for the 150th anniversary of the Helsinki Savings Bank, made in the shape of plate money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishmoney Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Every once in a while I see similar commemoratives from Sweden. Plate money is very interesting, it should be commemorative coins from nations also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akdrv Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 If there was a standard size and other banks issued them as well, someone could tile a whole bathroom with them. Very cool original medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
