Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 12/16/2017 12:15 pm @kzy, you are looking at a George Washington token (not a coin). I'm gonna recommend to the mods that your thread be moved over to the tokens section of CCF. I know that they have made a gimungous number and variety of these, but maybe someone can tell you more about this piece. It looks like the same design was used on both the obv and rev, is that right?

kzy Valued Member Canada 144 Posts	Posted 12/16/2017 12:24 pm Yes, its the same design on both sides. And thank you for your help! Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 12/16/2017 12:34 pm No prob glad to help. Now that I look a little more deeply on the interwebs, there is some discussion as to whether these pieces may not even be tokens, but rather bangles from a 1960s belt. It looks like a similar piece to yours is listed in numista: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces72678.html However, your piece is much rougher than this one and has an incuse rim on one side.

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4415 Posts	Posted 12/18/2017 7:12 pm I've seen these before, but I've yet to learn anything about them. This one looks to have been cast. IMHO, it's a modern, probably 1960's or later, novelty token. It may well have been attached to a fob or product and sold at some Washington historical site as a souvenir.
