irnhnve New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 11/24/2012 3:17 pm I found this old coin in my drawer from when I was little which I believe to be Masonic but can't find anything else about it. Does anyone know the name of it or more info? Thanks!! Edited by irnhnve 11/24/2012 3:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Coinage123 Valued Member United Kingdom 449 Posts	Posted 11/24/2012 3:53 pm Haven't found an exact match, however it is definitely Masonic, the HTWSSTKS stands for Hiram, Tyrian, Widow's Son, Sendeth To King Solomon. That's all I have found out so far... Will Report this Post to the Staff
MadMortician Valued Member United States 397 Posts	Posted 11/24/2012 3:54 pm You are correct! The common name for these are "Masonic Penny". The first picture identifies the coin as coming from Royal Arch Masonry, which is a part of York Rite Masonry. The second photo would depict which chapter specifically it came from. I've never seen one that didn't have a date or state/city to help identify it. I am sure the lettering IDs it , but I think it was designed to only be readable to someone who already knew where the coin was from. Nice find! Report this Post to the Staff
