Hello,

just found this piece, looks like a European token (because of the crown type), seems to be written GIORDANO /GIORDINO 263 CN, on both sides.
made from something very soft, not plastic, more like wax or soap?
approx. 3mm thick, 18mm diameter.

Does anyone has any idea what it may be?

Thank you in advance.

May be a seal from a Chianti bottle. Are there marks on the edge, top and bottom where a string may have passed through?

Hello,

doesn't look like a seal. perfectly round piece with no traces of any strings /wires going through it.
I thought it was some sort of plastic toy money token until I tried to clean it off and shaved one letter one the other side, very soft it is indeed.
