The guy on the left looks like Maximillan. My guess is that it's modern.
Rest in Peace

I got one that is similar last year, and am told it is a "wedding coin". There are some varied traditions where these are part of the ceremony. More common in Spanish weddings. I am also told my tiny "dowry" coin is 9kt gold, so what I paid ( under 10 bucks ) covers the intrinsic value. Even tho it is dated 1865, it is probably a recent token.
