Message:: [QUOTE="Stilson, post: 811457, member: 22728"]:desk: Having  an unknown bugs me.Tried awhile back and no luck. I have been  trying to find something on it again. Went thru his memoirs. Today all I  find is references to medals he received, tokens of ?(Friendship, etc.)  but nothing close to a description of this. Then I thought why? As in  why mint something like this. If he had it made himself. I would think  it would be a little "grander". At least a little larger. But not  crossed off the list. If made as some kind of memorial coin. It probably  would have born, died date. Last thing I can think of is some kind of  trinket. Maybe something sold near the castle for tourists? But then  again why no dates. Also I would not think something that size and  "crudeness" would be seller. But still maybe the best answer. Not all  memorial tokens/medallions have dates on them. But still a chance of  being made while he was alive. I think I found a little on the  reverse. A sheaf of tares and horn. Tare -  Middle Dutch tarwe  wheat,  any of several vetches,  a weed of grain fields. But that's just  because I saw a few references to sheaf of tares in my searches. I  really have thoughts about sending this in to ICG. I have heard some  cases of them doing some really good detective work finding stuff about  medals and tokens. But nope, its not worth it. Other then it won't  aggravate me when I look at it.[/QUOTE]
