Additions to your Exonumia collection - April 2024

Spring has sprung here in the Northern Hemisphere, which is a great time to get out there and find more wonderful Exonumia.  Just remember to post your April acquisitions from tomorrow for us all to see too.

Happy Easter

 Not many additions recently, just this one … 

'Medal - Marie D'Orleans Wurtemberg 1839, Girls of King Louis Philippe' 

[MARIE DE FRANCE DUCHESSE DE WURTEMBERG / PETIT F // 

UN ANGE EST REMONTE AU … / 2 JANVIER 1839 / PETIT F] 

A Conder Token

and a silver and enamelled medal

Both

Nice finds !!!  I'm out on a bit of a drive later today so hoping to find something locally in one of the antique or charity shops.

Found this in amongst some Euros yesterday - Contemporary Counterfeit of a 2002 Luxemburg 1 Euro 

here is quite a humble item, from New England's under-appreciated second city

will be adding to the catalog soon.

What is it depicting?  Is it a corkscrew or a petrol pump.

Clearly a parking barrier (???), but you can understand the confusion.

I like it that there are parts of the earth where it is not necessary to recognize a parking garage exit barrier.

 This afternoon would have liked to win five or six items 

from a seller, but kept getting outbid and only won this item … 

‘French Jeton 1556’ 

[CAMERAE COMPVTORVM REGIORVM // SVBDVCENDIS RATIONIBVS / 15 66] 

 I think the seller got the date wrong, as according to this I found, it is 1566 instead > 

TOKENS OF CENTRAL INSTITUTIONS OF THE ANCIEN RÉGIME. CATALOG. VOLUME II  

| Thierry Sarmant, François Ploton-Nicollet 

Some tokens that I am always somehow sucked into acquiring while on vacation (in Portugal) even though I do not collect exonumia 

among the places I’ve visited so far.. the National Pantheon in Lisbon, the Cristorei in Alameda (across the Tagus river from Lisbon) and this coin Pressed 5c from Aveiro today after I had taken the Moliceiro (boat) ride

Plenty of new medals for me but nothing extraordinary.

maybe these three Swedish medals are rather nice, to me at least.

missed adding this one from my day trip to Sintra and the Pena Palace 

Got this last week…

Also got this last week from Holland…

Plastic token (available to buy from reception x 10) and currently used to purchase drinks at events in a dance school in Amersfoort, NL.
