    Sorry! I don't have a photo of this but it has to be the strangest medal in my collection. It was designed by J. Wiener (of 3D church fame) in 1869 and shows the complete floorplan of a Belgian prison at Arlon. Escape anyone?

    An ashtray I picked up at a flea market with a coin from Argentina adhered to it. Top and bottom -

    Or a simple small bowl. The seller thought it was an ashtray ;)

    There is almost zero chance that this bowl is contemporary to the coin but I collect wildman coins so I had to have it.

    My Great Uncle had one of those! He also had a belt buckle with a Morgan attached to it. I never knew if he wore them because our last name is Morgan or just because he thought it made him look rich. :confused:
