Kingsown New Member United Kingdom 3 Posts	Posted 06/13/2015 11:59 am Tidying out some old boxes I found this old coin / token. I was wondering if anyone could help identify what it was. Looks like its been used at sometime as a pendant as there is remains of string in a hole that has been made as can be seen in photos. Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks Paul Report this Post to the Staff
