<p>[QUOTE=&quot;alphaphil, post: 323290, member: 1576&quot;]<font size="3">I contacted a specialist at a museum and he gave me the following info</font></p><p><font size="3">&quot;These two items appear to be early 17th-century silver counters in the style of Simon Passe (c.1574-c.1644). Passe developed a method to mass-produce medals and counters in a manner that would resemble hand engraving.</font></p><p><font size="3">The subjects of your two counters are two English kings: Edward the Confessor (1042-66) and Edward IV (1461-70, 1471-83), and they presumably came from a set that would have shown a series of English monarchs. Simon Passe sold counters in sets of 36, contained in a silver box.&quot;</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
