I wonder whether there is any interest in running a section on recent Exonumia finds each month, similar to the one in ‘Free Discussion’? I've posted a number of recent medal finds and get very little, if any, response. I'm not sure the die hard coin collector is all that interested in exonumia.
Here's a starter for 10 which I found in a bag of coins in Swanley, Kent/SE London last week.
Your thoughts?

That last medal I have also, but a different reverse …
Totally down with this.
I am mainly collecting Franklin mint United Nations fal-di-ral such as this ,
5x25g, .925, for US$110, for the irony, and the history, at not much above melt…
However, I did find these earlier in the month…

My 1st item of exonumia from India
The Pope is dead, long live the Pope - or words to that effect. Seems that Pope Benedict is a bit out of favour, as these things tend to be kept.
Only a few days of July left, so happy hunting to all.
