Paulus Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Does any one collect/have an interest in/know the value of coins/tokens/medals like these? I would be interested to know more about it, thanks for any help Quote
Rob Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Generally speaking they are gaming tokens and worth a minimal sum. There are a lot of variations in the legend to differentiate them from currency guineas and halves which they imitate. Yours appears to refer to George III regaining his health which may or may not be a gaming token as for once it refers to an historic event. I don't know where you would read up about them as there are no articles in the BNJ relating to this type of material. I know there is a token society and they might be able to help. Quote

bagerap Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 D&H 938 Middlesex National Series 1789 by Wilmore, Alston & Co.Also has a British Historical Medals ref, but the books nowhere to be found.Certainly pretty rare. Quote
