I saw this mixed-lot listing on e-bay. Here are two of the coins. I am mystified by the coin on the left

Google Lauer. He made many close coin copies of real coins.Your piece is early play money and a copy of the coin beside it. I recently acquired a very small Lauer coin with Queen Victoria on it.

Thanks Dennman. Not my piece. Just curious. I will google the name. Time for bed.

Yes - Lauer toy money in bronze. Not uncommon and there are collectors, but I suspect in that condition, not for that one! :-)
