What is your oldest or rarest coin or medallion ?

I like to collect the odd old coin and thought it would be interesting to see what old coins or medallions people have .

My earliest is an 1867 penny turned into a medallion. Not by me.Well before my time.




I have also got an 1897 penny



A 1915 penny that looks like it went to war .




And a very old Eureka medallion that has little bit of green in it from the copper. The colour of the medallion really shows it`s age.

My 1807 Half penny is my oldest coin.




Maybe not rare but this Influenza Emergency Worker badge from the 1918 outbreak is unusual.

My oldest token, 1808 East India Co.



My oldest coin 1812 silver shilling

Heath what makes the $1 rare? Is it the wave on the left side?

It's a 1797 cartwheel penny Jaros

The $1 coin Maccka is a year 2000 mule.

Here's a link with some info after another member found one recently.

Heatho. I see you did my trick and hit the cartwheel when digging it out. Bugger! But they still are an amazing coin to find. Great Work!

1846 farthing is my oldest!

And the only token Ive found is from AMF bowling :lol:

Yeah I wasn't impressed with myself Scoopa, the ground was really hard and I was trying not to make too big a hole, I really wasn't expecting it to be a coin.

WW1 Liverpool internment camp 3/4 3D token @ $3000 for a complete one, makes it worth about $2,250 in my books layful:

Half penny 1680

Kato thinks this is a Hibernia Half Penny ?

She has apparently been doing some research, I know nothing about :8

Other side please.

Strange it has no text around the outside. Perhaps a medallion of a club?
What's on the other side? May we see?

It's a 1AD Caesar coin found in the Adelaide Parklands.

No a medallion.
