Let's see your exonumia!

It seemed to have a random shaft of light beaming onto it, illuminating it out of the thousands of books there.

These 10 'visual grader cards' from 1960 were tucked inside. pretty cool.

Large plaque (110mm) of Queen Victoria produced in bois durci.

 

WOW! That's stunning yarm. What's the size and type of medal?---Bruce

 

Does this guy count as exonumia?

 

Good evening
I posted a medal in my introduction thread that I have been tying to date for awhile if anyone wants to take a look I would really appreciate it.

It has COINS on it!

 

If I didn't know better, I'd think that was Spuds McKensie on that coin, but I have no idea what he'd have to do with Star Wars...

 

I would say no. It's a souvieneer in regards to a movie. It is not a commemorative or currency related.

 

It is a medal/token so it would fall in with everything else that is covered in the current and past literature. As they issued coinage style medals for some movies in the golden age.

 

He is an interesting junk box find form two weeks ago.

 

Is there by chance an initial before "Fennell" that I can't see Circus? It looks like something's there but it may be a planchet dig or flaw. There's an "I. Fennell" counterstamp listed on an 1852 Large Cent in the Brunk reference (F-124). Do you know what the size of the copper coin is? ---Bruce

 

1817 famine token, issued by whom for what purpose, I don't know.

Is an enlarged photo of the area to the left of the word Fennel there is a dot and to the left of the dot is what looks like the top right part of a Capital I
I copper wired brushed the token and holding the token just a little below eye level with a 10x loupe you can barely make out the body of the Letter I.
I guess I have to increase the font size I use in the photo's It 6.4g's weight,26.90mm dia. 1,5mm thickness. I have a number of token books but not Burks, I guess it's time to bite the token and buy a copy.

 

It still doesn't change my opinion. I wouldn't classify it as a medal. What's the style, round?

 

Wasn't trying to change your opinion, I am not into medals so I have no idea. But token collectors must be a little more relaxed in what they will call a token/medal/ et all. Since in Alperts book the key change screwdrivers, and other misc falls into the broad range of coverage.

 

exonumia covers a lot of items

Yeah, that's definitely an "I" Circus. I couldn't tell from the original picture.---Bruce

 

Not sure who issued this, but I have seen it a few times - well, images, that is. See here:

The dates on that jeton (1816-1817) suggest famine effects of the Napoleonic Wars. The Numista listing however mentions the Mt Tambora eruption (Indonesia) which had an effect on harvests in Europe too ...
