(Finally) 3 more additions to the 1869 Set of Everything -- some grades posted yesterday

All the coins are cool in their own way (pardon 2 darkside images).



I have 4 more Cal Fracs to go to complete the 1869 run, BG-712, 750, 831, and 1021...but in reality only 3 are available (the BG-831 is a ghost, only 1 specimen fabled to exist).

    So what's the story on that third octagonal one?

    The second copper coin is an India princely state of Gwalior paisa of Jayati Rao dated Samvat 1926 (AD 1869).

    The octagonal medal is a French insurance company medal and is discussed here:

    The French know how to do coins and medals.
