enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 12/26/2011 7:58 pm I got this coin/medal quite a while ago and it was one of the first numismatic items I purchased. Since then I've never had any luck working out exactly what it is. It has a 1937 date on it but the bust of Queen Victoria that wasn't introduced until much later. This makes me think it obviously wasn't made that early but probably to commemorate a jubilee or something similar. Could someone maybe provide some more information on this piece? I'm interested about its purpose, composition and how it may have been distributed. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Comes in three metals (gold, silver, bronze) and two sizes (56mm and 26mm). Listed in the Eimer catalogue as #1817, CV for the silver ones in British EF condition at Â£140 for the large, Â£22 for the small. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
