    The medal is the British War Medal issued to those who served anytime in WW1. Most common WW1 sets are this and the Victory medal. Those who served from 1914 right through the war were also issued with the 1914/15 star.....pretty rare for obvious and sad reasons. The three together are known colloquially as "Pip", "Squeak" and "Wilfred" after characters from a comic strip of the time.

    Some very nice things from chards. As I laughed when you said you got on the wrong train I think it's only fare I confess my train mistake. I was visiting a friend who lived in York unfortunately I fell asleep missed my stop and ended up in Scarborough. I was so embarrassed I told my friend that I had missed the train I did confess years later 🚉😊🙄🚂

    Nice Mughal rupee. It's an area I actively collect and for one in that condition that's about the right price. The mint is just to the left of the loop like device on the reverse (difficult to tell which if you can't read the script) and although a bit worn it does indeed look like Patna - one of the bigger and long lasting mints sited to the north east of the country
