JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21589 Posts	Posted 10/02/2018 4:56 pm If it was real gold, it would weigh in at 8.387g and have reeded edges. Where did you buy it, looks counterfeit to me but need larger and clearer photos to confirm. Its possibly a gaming token. Edited by JimmyD 10/02/2018 5:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff

swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 10/04/2018 01:14 am The coin shown here is a very common brass token made for use as a counter during the reign of Elizabeth II of Spain. There are numerous varieties always of the same general type. Nearly all examples were drilled top center. Report this Post to the Staff
