Comment

F.A. Cup Centenary Medals 1872-1972.



Winners' coins to commemorate the first hundred years issued by ESSO in 1972.
The front shows the Clubs Shield. The reverse has the name of the club(s) they defeated and the year(s) played.


There are two known errors:
One with Aston Villa crest on front with Newcastle United cup wins on reverse.
One with Tottenham Hotspur crest on front with Everton cup wins on reverse.
