'Nother newp- 1794 Chichester Conder

Thanks, @giorgio11.

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

Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

    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.

    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.
