Wow, thats a beast. Just imagine if all our money was that big, we'd need wheelbarrows just to carrey the loose change.

Yes that is the one i am talking about, thought the ones i have seen are much smaller.

Imitations were made though, as i undersstand it, the real ones are 4.5 inches in diameter ?!

Looks like the real thing though, what rank was you uncle ?

I have no idea at all Chepfer all I know is that he was my grandmothers brother and that he obviously died in the Great War. My grandmothers family originate from a town called Middleton in Greater Manchester and I assume that he would have been with one of the Lancashire regiments but that may not be the case.
