Is it likely to be a coin, medallion or token? Any suggestions will be much appreciated. Many thanks. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Tryna Pillar of the Community United States 937 Posts	Posted 02/28/2017 1:48 pm I know of no coin that looks like that. So I am saying it is a token or medallion. My next thought was Is it a Conder Token? I do not think so. There were hundreds if not thousands of designs for the British 'Hard Times' tokens. It is possible that it is one, but I do not think so. I think it is a medallion, maybe a memento from a circus. Whatever it is it is rather cool. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 03/02/2017 01:08 am to the community Sorry to send you back to the unidentified section But, I think this may be some type of English Token and not an ancient coin. Going to move this back to the Unidentified section. Report this Post to the Staff

Kerry M New Member United Kingdom 3 Posts	Posted 03/09/2017 06:42 am Thanks everyone - I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that it's some sort of lead token. Would be interesting to know it anyone else has one with the same markings? Report this Post to the Staff
