Play money is a good guess. Token? Charm? Jewelry? There are sinilar looking Civil War tokens, but this has no reverse. Edited by Wizardnyc 11/05/2018 10:10 am Report this Post to the Staff

Looks like the reverse has been ground down as there is no rim. No matter what it is, there would not be much value in it so keep it as a novelty coin. Also to the CCF Report this Post to the Staff
