Topic: Ysart Brothers with unusual base

[millarart]

thought I would share one of yesterdays purchases this Ysart Brothers weight( Salvador?) with an unusual base, set into the pontil is a 1953 coronation coin/medallion/metallic label  makes this piece easy to date,   I have never seen one before but others might have , ive looked close through a loupe and I cannot tell if its a coin or a metal label and I don't want to start picking at it either,
