Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 11/03/2023 7:52 pm @bojan, I've enjoyed looking at your posts today and hope to add a little more information about this R. H. London & Sons piece. I don't see it, or any of the other denominations listed on my normal go-to website: tokencatalog.com. However, here are a couple links to numista pages for a 4 Pence token and a 1 Shilling Pence issued by RH London & Sons. One thing that is interesting is that there is a discrepancy on whether these were used in England or South Africa. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/ex...ia75276.html https://en.numista.com/catalogue/ex...ia93581.html Also, see this link for a previous CCF thread on a 2 Shilling token from the same issuer: http://goccf.com/t/385950 "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
