:Y: Interesting find TTK, sort of looks like it was a medal and has had the hole drilled later for a necklace :Y:
But maybe not, just weird they put words where the hole is......would think the maker would re-position the words around the hole
Edit......there it is there

Holed, would mean it was a solid medal I think :Y:

I believe it's how they came out of the box B5..... Well, I haven't seen any without the hole anyway
Be interesting to know if any of that type were un-holed so to speak.

Wow, that is one cool find, even better being silver which I would think would be the rarer version over the gilt bronze one. Seems like there were various versions produced, some also with the monarch on the obverse. :Y:

thanks GP, I was pretty stoked to see it cleaned up. I had no idea the lords prayer was on the reverse until I saw it on the net. I actually first thought it was just dots, like braille at first being such a small coin.

being holed, makes it more of a special

So the boy is back. Retired in October last year and sold up the house at Osborne and moved south to a nice place on the hill at Encounter Bay. Lovely view of the Bluff, Right Island, Seal Rock and Granite Island......all beside the point.
It's school holidays, so I took the ETP to the local high school for a swing. Among the expected $1 and $2 coins was a nice 82 on the conductivity meter, in hard clay under the sand of the volleyball court. About 2 inches down I popped up what I thought was a sixpence, but it was as black as toast.
So at home i gave it the treatment with some foil and spit, and out came an 1881 Adelaide Industrial Exhibition medallion. Fairly trashed with most of the Exhibition word now gone. Flip side is the Lords Prayer. Still a nice bit of silver for the collection.
