matthewkilleen New Member Australia 2 Posts	Posted 10/05/2015 06:28 am I have recently discovered this coin, which once belonged to my father, who died when I was a child. I believe that it has some relevance to my family history. ANY information that anyone could offer about the images on this coin, or the coin itself, would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! :) Report this Post to the Staff

matthewkilleen New Member Australia 2 Posts	Posted 10/06/2015 07:12 am Thank you all so very much for your kind welcome and very helpful information. Bob L, those links are EXACTLY what I was hoping someone could point me towards! thank you! I too am sure that my coin is a fake, but it's sentimental value is through the roof! Lol But now I know what it is a replica of, and that in itself helps me along my path to enlightenment :) Thank you all again! I have several albums of coins that I collected as a kid, some really cool stuff, this seems like a great community I might have to share some of them here to get your thoughts :) Report this Post to the Staff
