Hi all,
Sorting 2kg worth of world coins.
Would anyone have any info on the following two? Not sure if these are coins or commemorative tokens of some kind.
1mm smaller than a 20c

Same size as the 5c
Reverse is almost identical with a slightly different face.

Not coins, I'd say. Can't even spell "Queen" right. ;)
Not coins because there is no country, date, denomination, etc. After doing a Google for 'V B coin', I found this thread: http://metaldetectingforum.com/showthread.php?t=42185 which eventually lead here: http://www.vanbrooktokens.com/availabletokendesigns.htm
Apparently it is a token made by this Van Brook company listed in the 'General Purpose Designs' section.

Good bit of detective work, mate.

That's the one. :)
And the other one is next to it (#836).
Fulvio I didn't even realise that was an 'O' Haha
Thanks triplewitch! Great website to ID tokens. Never realised it was so big.

DOH! Silly me assumed it was two sides of the same coin. I should learn to read, eh? ;)
