These two were from the same sale of the Beast collection. Who has one?

I have the same coin, but from London, and also listed as a rare coin by RIC. Even though it's "rare", I could find 8 on sale, plus my specimen and another owned by someone else here...which makes 10 out of the 12 or so known, according to RIC. If you ask me, RIC is wrong...It may be listed as rare but the appropriate label is probably "uncommon" and there are probably at least 100 in existence, if not a little more.

RIC is wrong often when it comes to the rarity of many coins.

 

Still fun to have, though! Yours is a very nice looking coin.

 

Here are two I grabbed, at an affordable price, and LOVED them because they are 'cool'. If actually 'scarce' in any way, so much the better
