I went to a local car boot sale early on a Sunday morning. I bought a wooden box with some coins in it. I paid the asking price of £20. Was it a good purchase?

The Maltese coins show a facsimile of the George Cross, awarded to Malta in 1942 by King George VI. Hence St George and the Dragon.

The football clubs came from a set which was issued on the centenary of the FA Cup (although not the winners from the first 10 years or so when it was a mainly amateur competition and was won by such mighty clubs as Old Etonians and Oxford University). These came free with Esso petrol. The date on the other side was the year(s) that the club had won and who they had beaten in the final. I have a set but, being made from cheap metal, they are prone to corrosion

The animal on the South African 2 Cent coin is a wildebeest. I believe it is known as a gnu in some places. It was very cool to see that come up! Thanks for sharing your new acquisitions with us, Paul! One question - what is a JPM token? I have a few but I don't know what JPM is or what they were used for. Oh! And the coin from Asia that you showed us is from Sri Lanka, not India. 🙂

Bulls? Cows? Or were you just trying to milk it? 😂. The Football tokens were issued by petrol stations (Esso?) with the main side showing the winning team's name and crest, and the other side showing the clubs they beat and the year.

If so worth £15-20 in that condition. You could also look at Tim's Coins he does a specific video on the 1968 chickless variety.
