Who Would Like to Guess What These Two Gold Objects Are?

I have a feeling I have posted about one or more of these previously, but could not find them:

0.thumb.jpg.acb55dff3aa9ea020de18918a0529e0b.jpg

I have learnt to change the filenames, so this, above, is "0"

605238041_1(2).thumb.jpg.ce7942bbcc15949e87334612ec792564.jpg

Please assume this is called "1"

Over to you!

Is it the John Merrick memorial coin?

That's imaginative, and made me laugh, but no.

There are two objects, not one.

After looking again I think thatโ€™s a sovereign, I can see the outline of St.George and the dragon in the first image.

It looks like itโ€™s been struck from the other side so if Iโ€™m right, the other side shows the reverse of a sovereign but incuse.

I can see it the more I zoom out. Either that or I need my eyes testing.

Did someone lick the chocolate and orange off your Jaffa Cakes and put these back in the packet?

That deserves an award for creative thinking outside the box, but no.

@LawrenceChardย its got a milled edge, so somebody went to the trouble of doing something to it with the intention of it being something else.

So my guess is a circular saw blade.

No idea. ๐Ÿ˜†

They have both got milled edges.

Another brilliantly inventive guess!

What, NatWest and RBS?

Assuming that was a typo for "two blanks", almost perfectly correct.

They must have been one on top of the other in striking, but would not have stuck together, and I feel sure that if it required human intervention to separate them, they would have been rejected, althouth there are some TSF members who might disagree with this.

They will have separated naturally.

Excellent forensic work up to a point.

I guess I have to award top marks for the correct answer.

We might have to throw this open to all TSF members to decide whether it counts when you have looked at the answer sheet!
