  1. Hi Dickson,
    This is real cheap for the price of 80 bucks.
    We acquired one in below average condition for 30-40 bucks, if not mistaken at least 25 years ago.
    Guess its a medallion because ours too has a hole just like yours.
    Haha, after seeing this, or even when you put the reserve price in your blog earlier, we already have reservations about our earlier acquisition.
    Haha, its alright for us.
    Honestly this is not the first time we have made mistakes in our acquisitions.
    Fakes, mistaken grades, PMDs,, etc, etc.
    Arg! part and parcel of the learning process, we suppose haha.
    Thanks again for sharing, Dickson :)

  4. Hi Dickson,
    To be honest, we were not happy with the condition of this medallion later when we were a little more knowledgeable on exonumia or rather numismatic. (Haha, never heard of the word exonumia during those days).
    Anyway we are still keeping it till today.
    Looking back and going forward, we still think its safer to focus on numismatics or even bullion coins as the suppliers of these materials are mainly monopolistic or oligopolistic in nature.
    Really amazed with your 20sen freak.
    Wonder how in the world this 'alien planchet' managed to sneak into the mint, haha.
    Phew, what a beauty!
    Thanks Dickson :)

  6. Hi Dickson,
    Certainly.
    Will definitely let you know if we come across it.
    Notice this type of security edge are more prevalent among the bigger coins.

  7. Hi dickson,
    I have a very similar coin, the heads side is identical but the face says Canada . India . S Africa . Australia . New Zealand . Britain around it. It has a kind of Roman looking soldier sat on a throne holding a crown with a bird on top of the crown holding some foliage in its beak. It also has a hole like yours. I am not a coin collector as such (I dont know any of the terminology used on here). My idea was that maybe there was something through the hole that a ribbon could fit through, maybe it was a medal. I found mine in the garden, I used to find a lot of coins there as a kid. We lived on the grounds of an old concentration camp apparently in Manchester, England. I could send you photos but don't know how to contact you, I'd love to find out more about the coin. I have bookmarked this page in hope you will respond.
