<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Siggi Palma, post: 1167341, member: 18255&quot;]The history of Icelandic tokens dates back to the first known in 1856 </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As coins in Iceland at that time were very scarces and people just didnt have them. We were under the rule of Denmark so our coins came from Denmark,&nbsp; Norway and Sweden. Denmark just didnt think we needed coins. Merchants and bakes took the oppertunity to make their own tokens untill the early 1900 when it was banned by the goverment.&nbsp;&nbsp; With most of the seezed or lost in time large ammount of the known tokens are scarce. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You can see my collection here</p><p><a href="http://palmasoncollection.com/index_tokens.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://palmasoncollection.com/index_tokens.html" rel="nofollow">http://palmasoncollection.com/index_tokens.html</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It is one of the largest privatly owned in the world.&nbsp;&nbsp; What you have to understand is that many of the know tokens are very rare with 1-5 know pieces so getting one every 5-10 years is expected as they would come from known collections.&nbsp; This on the other hand did not come from a known collection and is a surprize and jaw dropping.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Siggi[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
