I have found two of the Somerville tokens in the last week but the last one was in worse condition.

Just think of the history that it represents and what it has been likely to have seen during NZ's early, turbulent times. The mind boggles! Love this stuff. Thank you for sharing.

Will be back to nugget hunting! number8wire - cheers for the enthusiastic reply. These came from a beach where I have found almost only old stuff. Even the rubbish is old.

Tokens are always a sweet find especially when they are in good nic. Well done! HH Iggy
