Thanks, @giorgio11.

I once had a ... umm... wearable example, back in my old "Holey Coin Vest" days.

That’s a fine looking example of a cool Conder, Rob. Thanks for posting.

And as a bonus it reminded me of the famous (if slightly off-color) “Chichester Limerick”.

I'll Google that, with due caution.

(Later-) ha! Pretty good one! Hadn't heard it.

Is there a Conder with a condor on it?

That would be perfect, wouldn't it?

There's toucans and stuff, so why not a condor? But I suspect you'll have to go with Ecuador for condor coins.

Rob, nice looking token, message me if you ever decide to sell.

Well, there's the highest compliment one collector can pay another.

I'm lousy at remembering, though.

Now, The token above is from 1794, so a few centuries removed from the Elizabethan era. (Dang "modern junk"! LOL)

But here's a sixpence that's contemporary with her time. I was happy to acquire it last year.

Sweet conder token, love the nice original lustre coupled with the subtle and colourful toning.
