Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 11/10/2015 06:47 am Got this one in a lot of random world coins plus a couple tokens: Googling "Maria de la Loste" turned up zilch. Google translate says "Dorada con aciete de coco" means "Golden with coconut oil" Oviedo is a city in northern Spain, Florida, and the Dominican Republic, as well as the surname of a 16th century Spanish historian. The two crosses don't mean a whole lot, especially the one on the left... I have heard of "Alpha and Omega" but "Beta and Omega"? As for the token itself... 24mm 4.39g Magnetic Has a casting seam I'm stumped. Report this Post to the Staff

UKPennyHunter Valued Member Spain 239 Posts	Posted 11/10/2015 08:35 am I don't know if it helps or bears any significance, but I think that it reads "Maria de la O" and then "Loste" is something else. The fonts between the 2 are different, and I know of a film from Spain called "Maria de la O" which is what made me think to read it that way.. Report this Post to the Staff

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 11/11/2015 11:38 am Good call on "Maria de la O." Did some searching, and it seems that is more commonly a sort of slang for "Virgin Mary", alluding to use use of "O, (prayer)" in many prayers and songs dedicated to her. And it does seem this is an advertisement for a cookie company, perhaps a former venture of the olive oil company that survives today. Still perplexed about the significance of the two crosses on the front, however. Report this Post to the Staff
