Any clue? Is it really brass, maybe?

Apparently , the Nevada legislature coins comes in both silver and bronze. Your coin has the same obverse, but I cannot place the reverse anywhere. Hope that helps. (Bronze medallions are not numbered)

Hey, thanks for that info! At least I know where one of the tokens sort of comes from.

I know this might be a silly question , but you have checked around the rim for any indications ?
I had a few of those in Silver and the makers name was on the rim as well as purity.

The rims are reeded, so that's not a good indication. I also tapped them and they don't sound silver at all. Their ringing goes out really quickly.

Reeded .. thats just slightly odd I think.I collected a lot of medals and tokens but dont recall a reeded one.
Its a striking impression of the Liberty bell,beautiful.

There seem to be some initials on both sides of the 1776-1976 coin. There are also other markings. Maybe you can look up those for the initials of an engraver, or the company that produced them...
