canary01 Valued Member Netherlands 204 Posts	Posted 04/29/2023 05:56 am Hi all, I was wondering if you could help me ID this coin/token. I have no clue in to what it is or where it might be from. Diameter: 23mm, weight: 2.93 grams Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

Who knows how many versions of this Spielmarke were made though.

Brummagem Valued Member United States 128 Posts	Posted 06/12/2023 3:15 pm From my experience I thought this was a British token and sold in bulk with one side blank so that merchants could counterstamp it. Victorian-era Pub token? Here's the design on a gaming token with Victoria on the other side. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthope...n-1617804475 Report this Post to the Staff
