[QUOTE="Wal888, post: 4830137, member: 96740"]Hello All My newest acquisition was recently purchased and just now arrived in my hands. They are four Coins/Tokens/Medals, and I don't know the history about them. At least the first, I really have doubt if it's a coin or medal. Those are just for share with you. Any comments are welcome and will be very much appreciated.
