 A lot of very regal looking coins. Not sure what it is about the Panama Balboas that has always intrigued me. I finally got my silver Un Balboa just a couple years ago after always wanting one. I need to go look at it again!

This 1811 silver shilling token from Yarmouth, Norfolk, was issued by Frederick Reynolds, an attorney and elected mayor of Yarmouth at the time. Apparently designed by Mayor Reynolds himself, the heraldry on one side displays a castle with an extended hand brandishing a baton, which traditionally symbolizes civic authority. The other side shows the arms of Great Yarmouth, featuring three unusual creatures, half lion and half herring. That bit of heraldry originated with a royal grant bestowed by King Edward III in the 14th century, after Yarmouth's civilian fishing fleet teamed up with His Majesty's naval forces to save England from defeat in some naval battles with France -- most notably the 1340 Battle of Sluys -- during the Hundred Years' War. Norfolk: Dalton 17, Davis 16.
