Sitting down to have Christmas Dinner with family and friends yesterday, one of them, who knows I'm a coin collector, produced this and asked me to identify it. He's had it for about 15 years and bought it in a job lot with some pre-1947 British silver coins. My guess is that it's a tourist token of some kind, designed to resemble a Far Eastern Temple coin, but can anyone be more specific please?

It looks sliver or silver-plated, and about 28mm in diameter.
Thanks!

Thanks, guessed as much. Is it likely to be fairly modern?

@nr, yes this is a Ramatanka Temple Token. Your pics are a bit over-exposed, but would you guess that the metal is silver-washed bronze?

We see them occasionally here on CCF and if you search on the keyword RAMATANKA, you will see loads of previous threads. Here is a link to one of the replies by CCF's resident expert:

Consider sending @alganbagerap a quick note as I'm not sure that he frequents this subforum often.
