Hello, and thanks for reading! I'm a complete newbie, but saw the site when I was trying to research this fob with inset coin/medal we have (see pic). It is a silver (I think) but unhallmarked, fob with the brass(?) disc/coin/medal inset to the front with a relief of what seems to be Saint George on horseback slaying a dragon, and the inscription "S: Georgius Eqvitum Patronus" around the rim. The fob opens to reveal a spring-loaded inner lid, which looks as though it could have been used to hold coins (sovereigns?) If anyone can enlighten me as its origins, I'd be really grateful! Thanks Jo
Your token looks very similar to this one. Maybe this thread can give you some sort of start to your search. http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=10490
