As far as I know, retired dies are supposed to be de-faced so that they cannot be used for nefarious purposes. Where did you find it?

I think it's super cool!  I also think that you should post it on TNG's tokens and medals thread. I think he would like it.  |

Awesome medal. I looked around a bit but could not find a medal that it had struck. I did however work with the die picture and a medal might look like this. You'll see some info under the bust, Phila PA Frank and maybe a date. I can't make it out. I would bet it is a Franklin Mint die.  |

I was thinking Franklin mint or maybe Shell gas station token but found no images that match either.

The images I found of all the tokens are mixed, some are numerical and some spelled out. I didn't see both versions of any single one but maybe variations exist? Or maybe counterfeits exist? There was money to be won with this game.  |
