Let's see your exonumia!

There are still swastikas on the large elephants at the entrance to the Carlsberg Brewery - when WWII ended the brewery nearly had them sandblasted off.

Good luck tokens with the swastikas

 

With bubblewrap toning.

 

I've heard that most of those
symbols were for good luck. But
I never heard that about a blackack.
Unless it was good fortune to the SA
troop using it to wup up on a commie.

 

Funny youtube video about the

Yep even @ the old SF mint

Kind of surprised those survived WWII, and didn't end up in some scrap metal drive.

 

The SS lightening bolts came from the
Nordic rune for victory. They just made
it two instead of one.

 

Conewago Coin Club 1967,
Conewago Township, Pa.
MACO, antiqued silver, M/A,
18.7 grms, 35mm.

I wish I knew something about
this. I suspect Tish-Ko-Han is
not a name but an Indian word
phrase. Also, wiki shows four Pa.
counties with a Conewago township.
But...it's a nice looking medal.

 

Love the antique steam tractor on the reverse.

 

Nice medal longnine! Apparently , the Conewago Coin Club is, or was, located in Elizabethtown, Lancaster Co., PA. Tish-Ko-Han (Tishcohan) was a chief in the Delaware tribe in the early to mid-1700's. The meaning of his name is "He who never blackens himself". Conewago is a Delaware word that translates to "at the place of rapids."

Cool. Thank You Bruce!

 

Here's a nice 39mm Columbus medal I dug out of my token box to show you all. I don't recall where I got it but I've had it for a long time. A good size and heavy with quality workmanship. It's not marked so I don't know who made it or issued it.

Nice clean crisp design, they do look so bad when they fill in every open spot with design elements

 

You're right Circus, they do get pretty "busy" looking when they try to cram too much on a medal or token. I think this one has about the right mix of design and field.

Here's a numismatist's token from the 1840's that I find quite attractive. Apparently it wasn't busy enough for Mr. Nightingale so he produced another version with a shield in the field!?

 

I like both of them. The Condor has
beautiful color.

 

Well, perhaps patterned after a Conder token, this one by Pye from 1797.

 

I like both of them too yarm. Actually, in this case, I think the shield improves the look of the medal though. Without it most of the design elements are crowded into one "corner".
