1911 Coin Holder (silver) Fob

[Citizen H]

another cupboard sort out found these coin holders hiding,

looking at my tags I bought theses in 2023, put away and forgotten about..........., 

I bought these from a local fair and was included with 3 silver vesta cases, thought id show these as they are coin related, Ive always thought that they were sovereign holders     

both hallmarked for 1911, 👍

when closed, plain cases.....

If the diameter is correct, there is little alternative in the way of explanation. I think I have just found another box worthy of ticking.

Boxes are getting harder to tick as time moves on.

Cool. I always thought that it would be cool to be out and about town with a full one of these

But also a full one of these

My understanding is that each spring load holds 5 of each denomination so 5 3d, 5 6d, 5 1/-, 5 2/-, 5 2/6, 5 half sovereigns & 5 sovereigns would give quite the jolly time on the town in an era (say 1900) where a pint of stout was 3d  

Oh, no, I don't own these but if it were back in the day, I would!
