I suspect Europe or UK but I'm not sure, so let's see if anyone can help? It has 25 on 1 side and shows a stylized H. sorry for the bad quality pictures, I can make better ones if needed.

Unfortunately, I'm still not coming up with anything to help you though.

Circus Pillar of the Community United States 3079 Posts	Posted 12/24/2019 09:47 am Looks to be a high class saloon change or gaming token, From the font style late 1800's The engravers of the time would take liberties when told to make it fancy. Leaving off the monetary designator as the patrons would be aware of the value of the token. And adding them would be considered vulgar to the elite patrons. Or at least give the idea that the joint was hig class! Report this Post to the Staff

cointagous Pillar of the Community United States 1143 Posts	Posted 12/28/2019 4:56 pm Dimpling on the reverse is from a rusted steel die. That might suggest these were made for awhile. My guess is its a personalized gambling token. If you could find another with a different obverse but same reverse that would confirm it. Report this Post to the Staff
