Chris Perkins Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 I have a house in Gillingham. Is the new bridge done across to Sheppey yet? I heard they were going to build another one that didn't need to open up and strand the islanders when big ships went by!Can you read anything on the coin? Quote

Peter Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Your "coin" is a French medieval jetton.There are many different types.They sometimes circulated as currency but were mainly used as counters.If you google the foregoing you will probably find a very similar example. Quote
