I have been looking at your posts. I am really interested in these things. But you don't say much about them.

If you made posts that included why they were special, more context, they would be more popular. For this one, for example, could you tell me about the auctions? If I could read your post and imagine the token being used by someone better, I would really really love these!

those tokens are from the guild of the autionners, they were no more used for counting (but gaming) and was given to the auctionner to thank him for his attendence at the guild's reunions
