philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 07/21/2013 1:12 pm The H probably means this is from the Georgian Restaurant at Harrod's ( in Knightsbridge, London). Though it looks nothing like the style of the well-known logo of Harrod's department store, which has been in use since the 1960s.

Circus Pillar of the Community United States 3079 Posts	Posted 07/21/2013 2:12 pm It is contemporary, or modern the reverse is a stock token design T70 is the current design number from the Hoffman mint. There are a number of locations in London But only one looks to start with a H in the name the one at Harrods. Maybe one of the members across the pond can add some thing when the clocks turns their way. Edited by Circus 07/21/2013 2:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff
philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 07/21/2013 2:43 pm Here's the Hoffman mint T70. I'd say close, but no cigar. Report this Post to the Staff
publius Pillar of the Community United States 807 Posts	Posted 07/21/2013 3:16 pm Am I the only one who sees that as a monogram, JH or possibly JHI? I checked, & it's not any character in the Georgian writing system! And, yes, the reverse is certainly distinct from the Hoffman T70 & its relatives. Instead of rays with their inner terminations alternating between two radii, you have two concentric sets of rays. The overall effect is similar, but by no means the same.

Circus Pillar of the Community United States 3079 Posts	Posted 07/21/2013 3:56 pm I have to agree that it is different, as the one drawing that I have seen showed the inner ring, separating the two sets of rays. was attributed to Hoffman mint Report this Post to the Staff
