David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1610 Posts	Posted 09/25/2020 11:24 pm I found this medal/token in a bulk foreign coin bag. Pretty sure it's not a coin but can't pin it down. Found an image on the web in a foreign language so not much help. Otherwise Google and Coinoscope didn't provide the answers so am resorting to the good old folks at CC. Diam. 22.0mm Weight 4.5g Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Here is the numista link: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces142893.html I used IZMIR KORFEZ TOKEN as the keywords in my search.

Pretty sure I tried that using token as well as medal. Mind you, based in Australia I'll get different results to what you see from the USA. Report this Post to the Staff
