Hello All!

So while digging through a bargain bin I picked up this piece, mainly because I had no idea what it was.

Now that I'm stuck with it I'd love to learn a little more about it

If anyone can help me identify the token, I'd be very grateful!

My guess would be it's some type of gaming token. Possibly something used in early casinos, which would make it worth something, but I really can't confirm that.

How large is it?

Thank you very much for you response! It sounds like you might be right, I'm going to look into it some more.

Here's a little more information about the piece- it measures 40mm or a bit over 1.5" in diameter and weighs 22g.

They come in various sizes and metals.
