Interesting. I've never seen anything like it.
And I was hoping he would sell it cheap!!! :'(
Didn't one of those North Wales halfers get muled with a Washington obverse?
Thanks to all those who chimed in. The edge lettering on this one says " CURRENT EVERY WHERE."
Take Care Friends

A very interesting piece of history you have there, Ben. Thanks for sharing! :)
Perhaps or 2009 medallions should be an "old style" tribute to the Knights of old with a design such as this one? Would be an interesting modern day version of a unique time in world history wouldn't it. Of course the dragon would have to be well represented as well. I do believe those coins we dream of, for one reason or another, are our dragons in this hobby!
Sounds like a great idea Terry! I like it! :)
Now THAT is a great idea!
Aha! :o The Parys Mining Company Druid Head Half-Penny - from Anglesey which is an island just off the coast of northern Wales. 8)

I can't tell you a huge amount about them but it's one all Conder collectors should be familiar with..
Thanks Numismatty, appreciate the information. :)
