Thinking about buying. Anyone have an idea what coin this is other than France origin (I think)?

Thanks

I believe it's a French jeton. See this previous thread: http://goccf.com/t/72609

Hello Kush. Yes, it was my thought as well, but I know nothing about these type coins/Jetons, but saw a number of pictures that referred to them as Jetons. Very similar to this one. But it would be nice to attribute it to a time frame, etc. Thanks for your input. May have to move this post.

A google search for France Ave Maria jeton should find you the details you're looking for.
