Obviously the Obverse not being died makes it a tough one. I'm thinking just a gaming token but I'd love to be wrong. Let me know what you think. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

I also agree with @al that you are unlikely to get very far as there aren't any helpful identifying marks.

Bubbachismo New Member United States 31 Posts	Posted 10/04/2021 7:42 pm Yea I was pretty sure it was a token, then I came across this straits settlement 1 cent coin and it looked fairly similar. So I researched a little (more than a little) and it said the original ones made for straits had no markings on where the coin was able to be used. Of course that was Wikipedia so there wasn't an example of what they meant. The 1884 1 straits has a very similar "1" but obviously more than that. I'll settle with a token but the explorer in me just wonders exactly what it is..or might be..or what I want it to be, or not to be.
