    Howdy all :)

    Hope you all had a awesome New Years and wish you all the best for 2015.

    Anyways..

    I need some help with this coin/token I recently picked up, I have searched and searched but have come up empty handed.
    It has no date so not sure when it was struck. Any info would be much appreciated.

    Cheers.

    There is a machine where you can strike your own medallion at the end of the tour, you put your money in and press the button.

    Looks like one of those, but either a weak strike, old die or it has seen some wear. You don't get a capsule with it.

    I would keep hold of it, they might change the dies or there could be varieties. I have mine somewhere, if I can dig it out I can see if they look the same.

    I don't think it cost much to mint though, it was the cheapest souvenir I could find :)

    The ones we do now have swan logo on the back, but we do so many of them I think you'll have to wait a bit for them to become rare.
