JBL Valued Member United Kingdom 289 Posts	Posted 03/17/2016 08:41 am The S21 is brass, diameter 20mm weight 8g, the thicker one. The 9 W is brass, diameter 18mm weight 3g. I have no idea what they are for or represent so any suggestions much appreciated. Thanks Brian. Report this Post to the Staff

There were hundreds of different manufacturers of these and I'm not recognizing them as any that have been discussed in the past. Perhaps someone that actually collects these can narrow it down.

"9s" likewise stands for 9 shillings - as Britain has not to my knowledge issued a gold coin with face value 9 shillings, this is probably a weight for a foreign coin. 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
