Weight- 4.1 grams Diameter- 22.2mm Thickness- 1.42mm Looks a lot like Iranian 2 Rials, but it is too heavy and obviously blank on one side. Coin shop owner did not know what it was either, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everybody :) * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

In lots of cases, the metal that the medallion is made of, is brass. 3rd prize unplated 2nd prize silver plated 1st prize gold plated.
