OK - that takes out Toy money and unofficial farthings probably. If it was commemorative I would expect something written on it to give a clue, so...
I picked up this one amongst a bunch of others a couple of weeks ago. The Broad Arrow tells me it is Military, but I am not sure what the A.I.D...
I am no expert and with so much damage it is going to be difficult to be sure but I would go with First reign - the mint mark above the crown...
I am sorry to say I don't know for certain. It looks like a gaming token or toy money. It does not appear in Moore's Model coinage, and with no...
I have another bunch of good British small coins finishing on Ebay this Sunday 29th April. There will be another batch starting the same evening....
Very pleased with this one, just arrived from a local auction a couple of weeks ago: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Germany - Bavaria, 3 Mark, 1914 minted in...
Got this one in as a slight upgrade to my collection - tiny little Half Farthing dated 1837: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Thanks @spirityoda that answers the question!
I picked up this with a bunch of World coppers over the weekend. I have not been able to properly identify it - it does not appear to be a...
Some of my pick ups from a local auction yesterday: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] The 1928 Wreath crown is the star, but I am pleased with...

I picked up this in a bunch from an auction - I can see Soldino on the reverse, and the winged lion on the obverse, which suggests Venice, but...
Yes - I knew it was War dept - I am ex-military myself so I have seen a lot of these. I wonder what the AID was?
Also got this rather nice Victoria 1893 Crown and an unusual countermarked 1918 penny that has been plated: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Picked up a job-lot at a local auction today. Picked out some of the more interesting pieces to share: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I...
A couple of nice upgrades arrived in the post today: 1892 Jubilee Head Sixpence: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] 1906 Edward VII Halfpenny: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I sold some today so I was able to buy these: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I think both these tools are different from your Zainehaken. The first is for actually creating the coin - I would imagine a hot blank is placed...
I'm not sure there is an equivalent tool in English mints. I looked up via google and discovered the "Zaine" is the red hot rod of metal produced...
