higrader Posted 26 April , 2012 Share Posted 26 April , 2012 Greetings I beleive this is the last one to identify. I have this medallion from my grandfather's war display which I cannot even get a trace of an idea as to what or where it came from. If someone could lead me in the right direction, would be appreciated. Front of coin says "Gold Award" reverse has a number "C4251" embosed. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auchonvillerssomme Posted 27 April , 2012 Share Posted 27 April , 2012 I would say it is a casino or gambling token or you would get it as a prize to spend in a certain shop or place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardtrabane Posted 27 April , 2012 Share Posted 27 April , 2012 Hi Could I suggest that you make contact with some of your "local" large auction houses or specialist coin dealers, most offer a free valuation service and thereby will hopefully be able to ID the medallion for you. Good luck Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Strawbridge Posted 27 April , 2012 Share Posted 27 April , 2012 auchonvillerssomme is right. I deal in coins. I can assure you that a "local" large auction houses or specialist coin dealers will not be able to offer anything closer than his response. The only likely person who will be able to give a definitive answer will be a specialist member of the Token Corresponding Society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auchonvillerssomme Posted 28 April , 2012 Share Posted 28 April , 2012 At least it isn't a brothel token which sometimes follow the same pattern! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
