chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 06/07/2018 09:43 am I'm guessing it's from Greece or Cyprus but that is pure speculation. I did a couple of searches and came up empty though. Someone that knows more than I will be along shortly.

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 06/07/2018 1:28 pm Well, the legends are certainly Cyrillic, so Greek, Bulgarian, & Russian are all possibilities. You'd think with that odd denomination of 8 it'd be easy to identify. I'm actually inclined toward it being a token of some sort. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 06/07/2018 5:36 pm The legends are Greek. It's a token from the Greek island of Samos, just off the coast of Turkey. http://eshop.sillektiki.com/Product...Page/343/en/ I could make out ΣAMOY, which is "of Samos", so I googled "Samos token" and it popped right up.
