This used and unusual item was acquired at an Estate Sale. It is in the shape of a small square. It says it is celebrating the 300th anniversary of the founding of Norwich. It is suppossed to be an actual flake of gold acquired from the streets of Norwich, Street of Gold celebration. It is dated 1959 on the front. The picture is showing the actual way it looked, as I recieved it. I do not know if it is real or not!
