steveiow Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Back in 1997 the Isle of Wight council issued a silver IOW Euro with HMY Brittania on it.This coin was widely available for a short time then was abruptly withdrawn from the places that sold it-tourist shops and the local newspaper shop and such like.As far as I know it had no monentary value-any one know why it was withdrawn?RegardsSteve(in the now dry IOW ) Quote
steveiow Posted February 23, 2007 Author Posted February 23, 2007 I do have one-not for sale,should anyone be interested in a fuller description.The story I seem to recall was they were'nt government approved so they were withdrawn,but not before a good few were sold.My wife bought one for a chap she knew in London,he asked her to,so they must have been reasonably well advertised.I just wondered if anyone knew the official story.RegardsSteve Quote
