wwhitman Pillar of the Community United States 1415 Posts	Posted 06/22/2008 11:03 am I have this what I think is a Columbus/Isabella token. It is 20 mm in diameter and made of gold. Does anybody know anything about this? I have been unable to ascertain where, when or how many?

GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 06/22/2008 8:41 pm does the token have a "300" on it or a "900"? Do you have a way to weigh it? Report this Post to the Staff
wwhitman Pillar of the Community United States 1415 Posts	Posted 06/22/2008 11:08 pm On the reverse on the right of the Boat is a '900'. Opposite on the left is a cross or plus sign in a circle. Check the rev. pic. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16834 Posts	Posted 06/23/2008 08:49 am I would classify it as a "round", rather than a token. The "900" will be the gold fineness. I presume the "cross-in-circle" will be the mark of the jeweller that had the medals made. What's the weight? 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
