Sap Moderator Australia 16827 Posts	Posted 01/30/2010 06:20 am It's not a "coin" - it's a commemorative medal (these small medals are sometimes called "medalets"). These would have been struck and sold in Britain as a fundraiser for the troops going to the Boer War. The Australian colonies also sent troops to the Boer War and we have varieties of these medals here in Australia, too. I don't have any British medal catalogues, so I can't tell how common or rare your particular item is. 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

It keeps all the discussion in one place. 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.
