Without a doubt my favourite is my hometown issue conder token which took my by surprise given its a small town now so must have been smaller then ! I also doubt it's been posted in this thread already.

U.S. Frigate Constellation souvenir medal

I know this one was already posted, but I just adore this one - plus, I already have a photo of it (obverse only, sorry) and my camera is on the fritz. My husband brought it home and said he had to get it since he knew I'd like it.

Nothing to apologize for, wonderful photograph, with your specimen seeming to have developed some extremely attractive toning.

Allow me to add a couple links that relate more of the story behind these U.S. Frigate Constellation medals:

This is an interesting read about the first Royal visit that this medallion commemorates

I really like looking at the coins showing ships in this thread and the earlier threads--nice coins. I didn't look at every single post about coins showing ships, but what I did note was a lack of identification of a *list* of coins showing ships, or even of countries that issued coins showing ships--identifying which coins.

I found and have been using this list-- http://typesets.wikidot.com/theme:ships --but I have since found coins showing ships that aren't on this list. Because I have found so *many* coins showing ships, I am limiting (well, at least for now) to an example from each country/entity.

Can somebody point me to a better list of coins showing ships or of countries/entities with coins showing ships? I periodically check ebay for coins/Conder tokens within my budget that show ships that I do not have, but the pickings are getting slim with the search algorithm I use on ebay. If I had a more targeted search (or a bigger budget) . . . like from a good list of coins showing ships . . . that'd help. Yeah, yeah, I know (and agree) that much of the fun is in the search, but the search can be funner having the right map {grin}.

TIA

Not really a coin, of course, but I'll add it on here anyway.
