Art1.2 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 ScottO's WW1 POW British Expeditionary force - iron - token coinage for a specific camp rather then location so again, best left here. Bill's 1915 Official Medal of the Panama Pacific International Exposition - Robert Aiken's medal celebrating the opening of the Panama Canal and the uniting of the two hemispheres. Struck by the U.S. mint at the 1915 exposition in San Francisco. Gold-plated medals (such as the one pictured here) were struck at the Philadelphia mint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art1.2 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Well I finally decided. I voted for the POW token. It's a great piece and has substantial history attached. I'm afraid that Bill's piece, although a beautiful design will garner more votes because of the gold plating (shiny is good. I like shiny! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
