Spence Moderator United States 34486 Posts	Posted 10/11/2022 8:17 pm Nice pick-up @lc. You might recall that @circus posted their gimungous collection a few years back. Unfortunately it looks like most of the pics were dropped, perhaps by photo bucket.

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 26277 Posts	Posted 10/11/2022 11:10 pm My folks brought me to Mardi Gras back in the '60s and yes I snagged some doubloons! I thought they had a long history, but not really so much. https://www.hnoc.org/publications/f...as-much-more Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16910 Posts	Posted 10/12/2022 12:14 am Do we know why it has two dates? I assume 1974 is the actual date of issue of the token, but is 1968 the date of the founding of the issuing Krewe? 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
Spence Moderator United States 34486 Posts	Posted 10/12/2022 06:00 am Yes that is correct @sap. Here is a link to their homepage, with the founding date and more info: https://www.kreweofbacchus.org/ "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
