| Post subject: Old medallion?? |  |
|
Hi all.
A friend of mine has found this old medal/coin/token. It belonged to their aunty who was a pies fan and died a few years ago.
They asked me If I knew what it was and unfortunately I don't have a clue. I guess by the magpies symbol it may date to the 70's but I am just guessing.
The date under the VFL symbol is not clear and appears scratched away.
Does anyone else have a clue on what its origins may be. I am guessing it may have been a collectors token given out with newspapers like the HS etc.
Thanks in advance.

Under the Magpies symbol it just says " COLLINGWOOD FOOTBALL CLUB "
The writting around the VFL symbol is "VICTORIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE" on top and " 1___ PREMIERSHIP" on the bottom.

It would be from the late 80's because before that symbol we had the Magpie from 1976 till the mid to late 80's!

It is from a set that you got from the Sun newspaper ( i think) aroundabout 1980.
Somewhere in my footy stuff i have the set. There are all 12 clubs and the coins fit into a cardboard folder.

Thanks guys.
The new owners are non Collingwood people and thought it may be an official club medallion.
They were disappointed to hear that it is a newspaper freeby. Oh well.
