    Howdy stackers hope all is well :)

    I was going through a collection of old coins that my 93 yr old grandmother had hidden in a old box which contained some 1700's - 1800's Trade Tokens from Australia and other old coins ( if you would like to see them let me know and i shall take some pics of them for you ) and i came across this.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Weighs 6.20 grams.

    Cheers.
    Gazza.

    the value in these coins tends to be in identification with , given the typical strike quality, is difficult. generally they get $10 to 20 max. i have a ton of them floating around in need of id.

    I will look them up when I get home and can dig out the appropriate book. But they do look like common issues. However they do have variety so worth checking
