<p>[QUOTE="Numismat, post: 1306240, member: 15019"]Just received this one. It's a toy coin from Britain. Couldn't find much about the maker, this "I. Fellows" of Wolverhampton, but I did find a "5" denomination piece by the same maker that was dated 1826. What's amazing is that it survived, considering it was meant for children and is a tiny 11mm in diameter x about 1mm thick.</p><p>I'm sure you can imagine what happens when children get their hands on something so small. =)</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Here is the other piece I mentioned: <a href="http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/opacdirect/158605.html#1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/opacdirect/158605.html#1" rel="nofollow">http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/opacdirect/158605.html#1</a></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii314/Numismat/007-2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii314/Numismat/008-2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
[QUOTE="Numismat, post: 1306240, member: 15019"]Just received this one. It's a toy coin from Britain. Couldn't find much about the maker, this "I.

What's amazing is that it survived, considering it was meant for children and is a tiny 11mm in diameter x about 1mm thick. I'm sure you can imagine what happens when children get their hands on something so small. =) Edit: Here is the other piece I mentioned: [URL]http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/opacdirect/158605.html#1[/URL] [IMG]http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii314/Numismat/007-2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii314/Numismat/008-2.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
