<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valezina, post: 66738, member: 3190&quot;]Hi Ian</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry for the confusion re my description!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin appears to have been recessed initially, and the hat and pipe added so that they sit in a recess in the coin. In other words they do not seem to sit flat on the surface, but within a moulded recess, and they stand just proud of the surface. IMHO this indicates a high degree of craftmanship and a heck of a lot of time put in.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the pointer to the political coins thread - very interesting and relevant. I think my coin must indeed be a Boer War relic. The POWs had a lot of time on their hands which might explain why so much work was put in here. </p><p><br /></p><p>Cheers</p><p><br /></p><p>Valezina[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
