Description
The Kingsbridge Crown is one of a range of ‘Town Coins’ made by Bigbury Mint. They are made as fictitious currency or tokens of Devon Towns, local to where the Mint exists. The coins can be bought to give as gifts, made into jewellery, or used as tokens. If your town (wherever in the world) would like to commission us to make a ‘coin’, please contact us.
The Kingsbridge Crown. 36.5mm diameter hallmarked solid silver. It has the name ‘Kingsbridge’ on the front with a symbolic crown and bridge. The unusual town clock is shown on the back of the medal along with the symbols of its twin towns, Weilerbach in Germany and Isigny-sur-Mer in France. It also has an oakleaf and acorn motif.
The co-joined d and h are the initials of David Holland who carved the die. The other symbol is the mintmark of Bigbury Mint.
