Hussulo Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 I have bought this medal: Charles XI dated 1673 it is made from TIN it weighs 45.9gr and its 51mm diameter. Can anyone please tell me anymore about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Ah yes. the `I liked it and bought it' syndrome. There's nothing like a touch of magpie -itis to help define the true collector! Sadly, I can't tell you anything you don't already know about the medal, excepting that I like it and I probably would have bought it too .

Hussulo Posted June 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 I know I try to stick to British, but every now and again I can't resist myself! It's in great condition if that is indeed the year it was minted, considering that it is made from tin. I mean look at William and Mary tin farthings of roughly the same age for example.

elverno Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 I can't make out any engraver's initials or I'd look it up in Forrer. I resist magpie-itis by sticking strictly to my time period! Nice medal though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hussulo Posted June 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 I can't make out the engraver's initials either, but thanks I have yet to recive it and examine at it in hand. Does anyone else have any information on this medal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
