I have this what I think is a Columbus/Isabella token.
It is 20 mm in diameter and made of gold.
Does anybody know anything about this?
I have been unable to ascertain where, when or how many?
THANX in advance

does the token have a "300" on it or a "900"?

Do you have a way to weigh it?

On the reverse on the right of the Boat is a '900'. Opposite on the left is a cross or plus sign in a circle. Check the rev. pic.

I would classify it as a "round", rather than a token. The "900" will be the gold fineness. I presume the "cross-in-circle" will be the mark of the jeweller that had the medals made.

What's the weight?
