Matthew2999 New Member Norway 3 Posts	Posted 02/15/2019 05:17 am I did a lot of googling and the face looks like a 1888 20 Mark gold coin and the back looks like a gold sovereign.The place it was found in has been sealed since sometime between 1904 and 1914 at the latest but most likely between 1904-1908.

You mentioned that this piece was found in a place that had been sealed for roughly 100 years. What other items were in this same location? Was it found with a bunch of coins or a bunch of toys?
