Amazing Find!

That's a fun little flea market. There's something for everybody. You can buy some beef jerky or the whole cow there.

They are nice looking mugs, well worth the dusting.

I believe that all UK school children were given one of those mugs and a commemorative crown - that is a coin worth five shillings.

A percentage of the mugs never made it home, and a fair number of the coins were spent at the sweetie shop closest to the school gates.

The crowns are - as far as I know, still legal tender, in that they could be taken into a bank and swapped for 25 new pence.

They might be harder to exchange for sweeties though.

I do like the cream colour of the mug. Later commemorative mugs were printed on a white base and really don't have the same impact.
