I buy very few raw coins on ebay, but this one looked nice and came from a reputable seller. I won't see it in hand for a while.

What do you think??? image

    Nice coin!

    Are those crossed turkey legs on the reverse?

    Those are called "Patu". They are short, club-like weapons favored by the Maori and are usually made of stone or hardwood.

    Looks worth a shot from the photo.

    Patu are often made from greenstone, very similar to jade.

    Saw one in NZ that had a face in it from the colour of the stone, rather freaky item. It had been within that tribe for quite a long time.


    Nice coin, worth a shot.image
