+MikeG Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 Hi all, I've still got a few of these lovely coins left at revised prices for those in need of a special and unique Christmas present. Only 250 of these unique coins were minted to celebrate Yorkshire Day which is celebrated in August each year in Yorkshire, England and they are the ideal Christmas Stocking Filler or New Year present for Tykes far and near They are 1.75" x 3mm in size, beautifully finished in the shape of a white rose picked out in raised silver and 6 enamel colors showing the current administrative counties of Yorkshire on the reverse. Each one has its own unique serial number, tracking code plus special icon on Geocaching.com Check out the front images here and the rear images here Revised pricing and ordering details here Quote Link to comment
