Princetane Pillar of the Community 4628 Posts	Posted 10/07/2021 2:10 pm Love this thread, wooden nickels are so cool. I used to be into play money as a child and even now have a few bits and pieces. Of all my Halfcrowns and Florins a Plastic one truly eludes me! Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25196 Posts	Posted 11/20/2023 11:49 am Lucky Cuss, thanks for reviving this topic! However, it seems to be dominated by wooden nickels with not much play money. Here's one example, and I'll try to post some spiel markes later. His Royal Highness Albert Prince of Wales (SGO)/ Twelve pence make 1 shilling From a Worthpoint listing for an identical item: Quote: S. G. Onions produced these teaching coins in 1843 for schools and home use. They've become very rare over the years through loss and probably nobody thought they'd become so sought after. There are 10 types all with a portrait of Prince Albert (who was to become Edward VII) as a baby. The reverses always have the correct number of dots for the denomination to help with counting. This one has 12 dots: 12 PENCE MAKE 1 SHILLING. This is the coin most usually seen but is still pretty rare. The coins range from only 11mm diameter to 17mm diameter. A variety of metals were used but the base metal is usually either copper or brass. This one looks about the same size as a half farthing, but although it's copper, it's smaller and chunkier. So it's 17mm diameter and weighs in at 2.6g. The edge is milled. Mr Onions obviously went to great lengths to produce a quality coin. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
