Lelund New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 09/23/2017 05:19 am Hello everyone. I came across this forum while trying to identify a coin I found while moving. It was sitting behind some old boxes by itself, without any case or anything. Nobody I've talked to can identify it, so I've come to the internet for help. This could very well be a gambling token of some kind, as my family is originally from Las Vegas. However, there aren't any casino names on the coin, and I'm not sure what kind of establishment would use a silver metal coin for a gaming token. I have a couple of images attached, but I also thought it would be important to note that the coin is roughly 40mm wide and has the words "Commercio Agricultura Industria" carved into the edge of the coin.

Dino Valued Member United States 180 Posts	Posted 09/23/2017 10:19 pm Very interesting, the history of both symbols X and the horseshoe date back centuries and have ties to many cultures and religions(including Christianity). Would love to know the script translation. Report this Post to the Staff
