I'm not late for #SaturdayNightCoinShow, it turns out time is an illusion (Lunchtime doubly so). Since I've started whimsical, I'll go with the fun piece I just wrote up - an Imitation Spade Guinea "In memory of the good old days". You should definitely read:https://coinofnote.com/imitation-spade-guinea-good-old-days-uk/ - it talks of #gold#coins I can't afford, imitations of which there are many, garden implements & late 1800s #theatre! Enjoy :)
@CitizenWald@histodons@numismatics I like that one :) A Thousand Guinea's Plus lists seven types for Fattorini:
7250: regular
7255: ribbon squared clear of F, leaves doubled. Rev point of shield clear of 8.
7260: plain serifs. leaf just after rounded &. ribbon to middle upright F. Rev LL aligned
7270: Aluminium
7280: Fancy serifs, Rev die flaw at base of SALE, date repunched
7290: Rev shield to start of E
7300: bronzed finish
We haven't yet had anyone guess this week's #MysteryCoin, it must be a tricky one! It's a worn, but nicely decorative piece, but from where?
Let us know! And don't forget to subscribe to the Coin of Note Newsletter, as it's due out this week with the answer: https://coinofnote.com/newsletter
@tkinias@tlariv@alexf24@numismatics@histodons definitely, like the blue and gold dress illusion a couple years ago. I try to bring it the details in coins but sometimes it affects the color. The 1949 Portugal 20 Centavos is another one which looks a bit silver in my pic although that one is bronze. I'll try to keep the colors more natural!
Clearance chipboard tokens - these are the old, old original tokens I used to make, one step up from starting out which was laminated paper cut out with scissors
I'm selling them as remainders for 20 cents per token because I want to get rid of them, but throwing them away is unthinkable
Question for the fedi #ttrpg#dnd people - would people be interested in cheap chipboard #tokens? Like 35c per token?
These are old prototypes of mine that I was going to sell as remainders, but it occurred to me that people might be interested in super-cheap tokens with nice art as an ongoing thing
