Could be a military or transit token? It is 22mm in diameter, weighs 5.4g and appears to be made of brass. As usual, any thoughts regarding attribution, age, rarity, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

He says it's a Meiji era token that was sold to raise funds for the building of the imperial fleet. It looks like it was attached to a pin and came in a presentation case. Here's a link he sent me with pictures of more of them. https://www.google.com/search?q=%E5...1368&bih=770 Report this Post to the Staff
