geordie582 Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 They all look like coins of Eustace Fitzjohn of York (During the Stephen/Matilda civil wars). Reference North Vol 1 Plate XV item 5. Spinks 1316. Whether it is real or a forgery I couldn't say. Other members may offer other thoughts. I've PSP'd them to see the legend better!

geordie582 Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Which probably makes it a petrol(gas) station give-away. The real item would net you over £4000! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordie582 Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 oh ok, what is it then, lol There was a time when petrol stations gave one to each customer, and you could collect a whole series. Kin to football or baseball medallions. Some people collect them( but certainly not numismatists! ) so someone may give you a $1 for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
