Rob Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Some sort of private medallion. The bust is all wrong for a coin. Quote
Coinery Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Not my area, but the quality of it would suggest some fun kind of museum souvenir or similar? Quote
Chingford Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 i have tried to attach the pics of the coin, i hope you can see itRodgers 1434 with the Mellions food ad on the rev missing Quote
davidrj Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) This one is brass about 30mm - probably similar intended use to yours - possibly as a badge or for application to a tourist souvenir Edited December 19, 2014 by davidrj Quote
Peckris Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 It's obviously based on the William Wyon YH obverse, but the 'designer' initials are M.BP not WW. It's not badly done, somewhat closer than david's Gothic example! but still no cigar. Quote

VickySilver Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Looks a bit like the obverse from the Indian Rupees as well.... IMO quite unpleasant... Quote
