Here's my sovereign balance. Looks like the other except this doesn't say Harrison. Probably a knockoff. The coin weights demonstrate the balance. You see what happens when I put the fake half sovereign in. I think that's made from a farthing, with one side restruck, there's quite a bit of damage to the rim. They dyed farthings with a dark shade, and there's a sheen on the piece. I imagine it was gilded at one time. The South African piece is a spielmarke, I'd imagine.

 

Watching a WW II documentary about the bombing of Japan. So here's a couple pre-Air Force tokens:

 

There are at least 10 I know of here in Georgia. Three within 50 miles of me.

Nha Trang Air Base was a training school for Vietnamese pilots trained by the French in 1951. One of their trainers was a former Luffwaffee JU52 Junker.

In 1966 Nha Trang became the main Air Base for USAF special ops under the 14th Air Commando Wing. Such ops included: Skyraiders, AC-47's, AC-119's and AC-130's for ground attack, close air support, inderdication, re-supply, extractions, armed photo recon, search and rescue, and psyops.

 

I was eyeballing a Nha Trang just two nights ago! Excellent token!

 

Grip like wrapping your hand around a cold one?
