I found them in a lot of european trading tokens but I have no clue to what this is. Its a very soft (easy bendable) metal, probably tin or lead? Diameter: 28mm, weight: 8.45/9.12 grams Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

I suspect lead because I have found several similar items in world coin lots but the ones I found were modern lead crudely cut octagons with no imprint. I wondered at the time what they were doing amongst the world coins but am now thinking someone was trying to replicate an older piece like yours. Sorry, can't help with ID but will be keen to find out what they are. Report this Post to the Staff

Or more likely a replica of one, as suggested by @DavidGraham. Edit: something like this: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=4971845 Try searching various combinations of klippe / octagonal / lead.

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
