ccg Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Neat! What size was this, and was it cast or milled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 It is neat. Seems quite well worn. Pocket piece or circulation as currency? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted September 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Neat! What size was this, and was it cast or milled? It is 24mm (roughly one inch) in diameter and was struck on a thin silver flan. This example appears to have seen significant `circulation' but it is unlikely to have been passed off as coin of the realm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted September 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 It is neat. Seems quite well worn. Pocket piece or circulation as currency? yes, it is very well worn and although I can only surmise as to how that has come about, I suspect you are spot on thinking of it as being a pocket piece. It may have been a common item at one point, but there's not many around and when they do appear they are in much the same condition as this one. I was lucky to buy this one from a seller in France, and for only a few quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
