Spence Moderator United States 34395 Posts	Posted 03/05/2020 05:22 am @CC, I've looked quite a bit on the interwebs, but not found anything in particular. It might be that this token was just made for tourists.

In terms of current market value - likely no more than $20. @Samessenger217: Thanks for providing the information on the medal's origins. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems.
