No text to go on - not a coin? [решено]

I’ve just come across this in a bulk lot. Any ideas?



It’s 38mm diameter, about 3mm thick and weighs 23.6g.

I assume it is just some sort of medal or token but just thought I’d check here...

lovely rendering of a clinker-built dipping lugger yawl. English Id guess. very nice item.
could have been an award medal with a blank spot to engrave a legend.

​Yes, that’s what I was thinking. Thanks.

It is a nice thing - has a lovely weight to it - but I’ve no interest in keeping it. Is it the sort of thing that might be swappable via Numista? If not, is there somewhere collectors of such things hang out...?

Im interested, what do you collect?

Another Middle Easter.?

The ۵۰ is 50 denomination - not found the country yet ...

You only have a picture of one side. Need the other.
Either of these, from Iran ...

Also please create a new topic, not add it the end of another, in future.

​Certainly confused me for a second!

​Oh, wow! Great.

I’m new to collecting. I am largely just buying bulk lots from eBay to see what turns up.

So far I think I’m leaning towards favouring early-mid 20th century coins. Not really a fan of aluminium or copper/bronze. I really like the 1950s French 100F coin, Greek drachma from the 60s, Maltese coins from 60-70s, and some of those chunkier coins from Singapore and Hong Kong too. I guess these all have a similar aesthetic.

The only real collecting aim I seem to have set myself is to get something from every country in the world! Very light on South American and African coins at present.

I think I’ve now switched on the option to make my collection public if you want to see what I have.

I will check if I have something that could interest you.

will send you a PM later,

best regards,

Paul

Great - thank you.
