It appears to have some ancient Roman Building (Trajan's Market ?) and a date Oct. 21, 1984 but this date has no significance to me. Can another member help ID ? Report this Post to the Staff

So this could be a token commemorating the opening of the pictured building in Gunskirchen (Austria) on Oct. 21, 1984. Or a 100th, 200th, 300th, etc. anniversary of the opening of this structure.
