WpgLwr Pillar of the Community Canada 1082 Posts	Posted 04/07/2010 11:52 pm One I can't find. Obverse: Wyon portrait of Queen Victoria, inscribed VICTORIA on the left, REGINA on the right. Reverse: W H with an anchor between the letters. The whole thing appears to have been gold plated. Any ideas? Report this Post to the Staff

xshift Pillar of the Community United States 2669 Posts	Posted 04/08/2010 01:59 am Got pics? Could it be a VR instead of WH? (shapes could be similar if it's worn) There are trade tokens with VR and an anchor between. Report this Post to the Staff
D Pillar of the Community Canada 899 Posts	Posted 04/08/2010 6:01 pm With the W H and anchor in between I would be thinking could be a Tavern Token.. They made several gaming tokens with a double eagle, playing cards etc on the reverse.. I would place my nickel bet on a advertising tavern token........ Report this Post to the Staff
WpgLwr Pillar of the Community Canada 1082 Posts	Posted 04/08/2010 7:33 pm It's definitely a WH, xshift. The only thing worn on it is the shiny finish. And yes, I wouldn't doubt it's as D says, an advertising token...but whose? Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16826 Posts	Posted 04/08/2010 9:28 pm The closest thing I could find to it is this jeton on the Fitzwilliam Museum database. Queen Victoria with correct legend on the obverse, anchor on the reverse, only with "rechenpfennig" around. I suspect your item is also a jeton, or rechenpfennig (gaming counter). 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
