<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 2951624, member: 40017&quot;]Just picked up these tokens from Tavistock, where Drake was born. Four different ones, but only two shown here as they fit the Sailing ship theme. Common reverse.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]721196[/ATTACH] Presumably the Pelican</p><p>[ATTACH=full]721197[/ATTACH] Plymouth Harbour?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]721198[/ATTACH] </p><p>Common reverse - clearly some big promotion in 1980. The other two obverses are of Drake landing on a foreign shore, and of him being knighted by Elizabeth I.
