Another Hawaiin Trade Token, a 1973 HILO Dollar. Supposedly, there were only 1999 minted with serial numbers, this one being H913. Very nice!  |

France Medal (Bronze Fob) - Exposition Universelle Paris 1889 (N. J. Schloss and Co), A medal awarded at the "Exposition Universelle - PARIS 1889". One of the first medals to show the Eiffel Tower. It reproduces in miniature the 1889 prize medal won by N. J. Schloss and Co. of New York City at the 1889 Universal Exposition in Paris.   |

Recently picked up this one. Wm. McL Miller counterstamp on a French 2 Franc. Attributed to New Orleans, but that is somewhat tenuous. Yes, there is a 349 Lafayette Street in the French Quarter. One NOLA historian could not shed any light on it. Any information would be greatly appreciated.   Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Two medals from the 1891 Central Asian Exhibition in Moscow, I found these in a lot recently. They seem relatively scarce.   |

I reached out to my local coin club as I am looking for medals/tokens with Toronto's City Hall on them. Two members generously gave me two pieces for no charge. Fred Beavis was an alderman and city councillor in Toronto from 1961 to 1988, except for a brief period between 1975 and 1977. After the previous mayor resigned to enter federal politics in August 1978, Beavis and another councillor had an equal number of votes from council for interim mayor. Beavis won after his name was pulled from a hat. There is no date on this token, but I estimate sometime in the mid1970's to early 80's. Beavis represented Ward 8 from 1974-88, but the term "aldermen" was changed to "councillor" sometime in the 1980's I believe. The token is 41mm and made of aluminum.  There is a different Fred Beavis token listed in Numista. It has a picture of city hall on one side and says "Mayor Fred Beavis 1978" on the other. The 1978 is within a horseshoe. |

This is the second Toronto City Hall token. It was issued for the 1975 Torex coin show in Toronto. Torex issued tokens each year for most of the 1970's. The picture of city hall was largely the same, but the other side has different images. The Torex coin show is the longest running in Toronto (since 1962). The venue has changed over the years. Speaking to "old-timers", it used to be THE show to attend. This is no longer the case.  |

I picked this one up last night. A trade token from the tiny two-stop light town where generations of my paternal side of the family lived.   Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures
