Hello again, sorry to blow up the exonumia forum but I have time off and I'm on a kick...

I found this one recently in the bulk bin of a pawn shop with little care for numismatics less than gold, so anything is possible I suppose. I've found some great stuff in there!

From all I can find online, it looks like an Anatole Papineau token, but the material is almost certainly aluminum, and I can't find one online like it.

Diameter (dial caliper): 0.798" / 20.27mm
Weight (1/10th scale only, sorry!): 0.8g

Anyone see this before?

@min, this token does have some of the design characteristics of the Anatole Papineau tokens, but the differences are significant enough that it couldn't have been struck with the same dies. Unfortunately, I don't have a better alternative for you.

To help others who might want to research this, here is a link to the tokencatalog site:

Spence, thanks, it's very uncanny valley!

I've found a Niles, OH Rolling Mill Restaurant Token on ebay right now with, I believe, the same 5c design... But none with A-P.

Mid-century unrelated coincidence?
