Britannia Moneta Token

Recommended Posts

Hi All

Just came across an unusual token.  HME Birmingham produced a coin in the late 1950-60's with Obv: "HME Birmingham" with a coin press in centre. the Rev: with the phrase "If a Cincinnati Salesman can't match this coin he'll buy you a beer". My question is have any of you seen the same coin with the Britania Moneta obverse?

It has definitely seen better days but found in a bag load of predominately machine tokens.

Hi Michael, that is a beautiful example. I have a few of the standard "Britannia Moneta" trials myself. However, it is more the particular token I was intersted in and if anyone had seen this before.
