Interesting token. With the amount of wear on it, someone must have carried it in their pocket as a pocket piece for awhile.

This piece is likely to remain without more to go on. Privately produced is my best guess

I took a look through Medallic Portraits of Washington by Rulau and Fuld (based on Baker's original reference) and also Tokens and Medals: A Guide to Identification and Values of United States Exonumia by Alpert and Elman - neither had a listing for the medal shown. I also looked through the ANA's Numismatist magazine without luck.

It is definitely not a US Mint medal. Based on its low-quality design and execution, I am also comfortable saying that it is very likely NOT the work of Medallic Art Company (New York) or Robbins Co. (Attleboro, MA) or Whitehead & Hoag (Newark, NJ).

I realize that's more about what the medal is not vs. what it is, but at least it is something!

Thanks for the effort guys! I have seen one picture of the exact coin on google images, but when you click on visit website, it shows another variation.
