<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tech, post: 897281, member: 24354&quot;]I recently went threw a old drawer, that has been in the family for decades and found few coins.&nbsp; But one token wich i didn´t&nbsp; know put it&nbsp; in a coin flip and didn´t&nbsp; look in to it for a week or so. Then i asked&nbsp; around. And after email to a collector and a visit to the central bank of iceland and a conversation to the head of the numismatic department. It Turned out to be a Bread Token with the letters &quot;IHF&quot; wich stands for </p><p>islands handels &amp; fiskericompany&quot; wich was fishing company at patreksfjörður an small town that is located in west fjords in iceland&nbsp; and on the other side on the coin &quot;FB&quot;&nbsp; frans bread. IHF owned the main store in town thats why the coin got their mark.&nbsp; The coin was minted propably between&nbsp; 1899-1907 and is the only one known about with the FB marking. And and the only one missing to fill the series of IHF bread tokens&nbsp; at the central bank numismatic museum.&nbsp; </p><p><img src="http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/1151/dsc00233sv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/8750/dsc00235xw.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
