It might still be cold, but Spring is on the way up here in the northern hemisphere. As for the UK, the snow drops are out in flower, the birds are singing, and even the foxes are screaming at night. We just need lots of exonumia to show everyone. 🙂
Only a short month this month, but let's all try to make it as good as January. Happy hunting !!!
Sorry I posted on the wrong Thread, somehow the old one was reactivated.
Here another new entry for me.

OK, now in the correct latest February post after posting tokens and not December.
Anyway, will post tokens again but separately this time and with better quality photo's
Nice Camel & Lion token and would say at a guess late 19th early 20th century. The camel has a pyramid in the distance bottom left and the lion on the other side has three stars at the top and bottom, no words or dates. As to metal content, no rusting so could be silver or zinc, probably the latter? I find them very fascinating as opposite to coins.
Both are approx. 25mm wide x 1mm in thickness/depth.
While here in Numista catalogue we have three almost identical tokens, mine is not among them and I'd be happy if someone (especially our French friends) could pinpoint it. On the Edge there's a sign of a hand pointing to text “ARGENT”.
1. Médaille figurant Louis XIV et un navire Métal = bronze // Diamètre = 41mm // Poids = circa 32,8 gr. Poinçon = Bronze et corne d'abondance // Frappe = XXème siècle ?

ET NAV.REGINA // Signé : B. DUVIVIER Métal : Bronze // Dimension : 41 mm // Poids : circa 37,7 gr. Poinçon : Bronze et Corne d’abondance ? Frappe = après 1880 très vraisemblablement XXème
4. Médaille figurant Bonaparte et la campagne d'Egypte Métal = bronze // Diamètre = 41,7 mm // Poids = circa 39,1 gr. Poinçon = Bronze et corne d'abondance // Frappe = XXème siècle ?

Some fantastic finds so far this month from far and wide, and it's only the 10th. I suppose we've become used to seeing a wide variety of jetons, tokens and commemorative medallions regularly turn up from France and Germany, but even so, the recent finds are really fantastic. Please, don't stop finding them and posting your pictures Then we get the thin tin animal mini medallions and the Japanese commemorative medals - Wow !. February is looking like it's going to be a really good month for all sorts of Exonumia.
I hope everyone is checking to see if they're in the catalogue and adding them in if not. 😃
Obverse: Helmeted woman, standing right, armed with a lance, her left hand

and planted on a rock, at the foot of which lies the Belgian lion. Reverse: Six horizontal lines; five are text, one the date.

father who abdicated in his favor in 1555 in the Spanish Netherlands and, in 1556,

cousin Marie Tudor (1516-1558), Queen of England, in 1560 Elisabeth of France (1545-1568)

I know, I've confused you all with this gem of exonumia.
It's our own oddity on our website. If you look at the additions to the exonumia collections from the beginning of the thread, you'll see old, dirty, time-worn coins and medals.
And now such a "jewel", such beauty and immense power. The collector's dream of all "Pokemon trainers", My grandson brought this to me. He has it in my safekeeping, it complements other battle tokens.
I don't even know if our website has it recorded yet, if not you have the opportunity to enrich the world with it. Weight:4,88g
Size: 51,41mm
Material: plastic
Especially so that Donald doesn't notice. He threatens that the new world currency should not change. But he will see this gem and will not be able to resist. Sample: in gold, in banknotes and various series:
The white material in the ‘1’ appears to be paint, not residue from dried out cleaning fluid (is it possible that this token may have been coloured when it was first issued?).

Hmm
I have a few of the plastic tokens, but for some reason I didn’t think of them as exonumia until I saw this. Those are some nice pieces of exonumia!
Did you know that Pluto is still a planet in Illinois and New Mexico and has de facto recognition as a planet in Arizona?
