Hello all,

Ran into this interesting token today, it is silver dollar sized and looks to be pewter, maybe with a silver wash.
"8" reminds me of a potential 8 real face value, but that's more a guess than anything else!
Both faces are identical but flipped in coin orientation.
Does anyone have any information about it, its origins, or the mine it would have been made for?
Thanks!

It is not listed in Rulau's Latin American Tokens book.

Thanks Dar,
That is interesting to know...
Do you happen to know if anything else from that mine might appear in it?
Very appreciated!

Perhaps if you can find someone who has this catalog you can find it.
