[QUOTE="Dafydd, post: 26644994, member: 86815"]Ok [USER=10461]@lordmarcovan[/USER] I didn't know you would have a big reveal because I was happy to be anonymous as I wrote but I love it, so I can explain stuff as you go along. This coin was designed by a friend of mine another Welshman named Kevin Ashman, he is a historical author and worked for a short time at the Royal Mint where his son still works.

Back to this unique piece I know that this is part of a set of famous and not so famous battles and none have ever made it across the water. Here is Kev's amazon authors page [URL]https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/author/B005F5M0GW[/URL] I really appreciate what you do with your giveaways and there are more generous folk than me but I thought I would send you some items to appeal to everyone. Tell us which ones you think are the ones I sent to you. Incidentally I did some work on Vault Box numbers and worked out their potential profit, and the potential for getting a great result and decided not to get involved, Better odds than a Lottery but slim pickings for unlucky people like me.[/QUOTE]
