This doesn't say what it is so I'm at a loss as to what I have. If someone could tell me what this is, what is grade is and value I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Looks like some sort of token. May have been worn on a necklace for a long period of time to account for the heavy wear.

The reason it doesn't say what type it is, is because it's not a type.

I'm unsure what it is aside that it looks contemporary, but I'm sure it isn't a US issue coin.

Most curious, and thanks for posting this.

Obverse "wear" much greater than on reverse. The date numerals are of course amateurish.

I'm stumped.
