This date is hilarious. The Mayflower had not even landed at Plymouth, yet!

Can't be. Somoan coinage has only been around since 1967, and they never made a $10 coin, only up to $1.00 and before that they used New Zealnad coinage.

Looks like it had a pin back once, reused as jewelry.
1609 might've been the hard date for that issue.

Did you notice it's even a 1609-S? From an alternate reality, where the west coast was colonized first.

I bought this coin at a flea market in Penang, Malaysia. Many old coins, notes, stamps, antics and also rubbish sold there. If you get luck you can find a high value old item sold there and most of the sellers don't know the real value of it.

Fantasy, prolly gold plated brass made for jewelry. 1609 was b4 the pilgrims landed, and 167 years before there was a USA.
