I have an old irregular shaped thin metal coin/token with the word MASCOT and an image of vishnu (god with three arms) sitting cross-legged and letters AEF (?) on one side. On the other is an inner circle of leaves with greek (?) letters in it surrounded by more greek (?) letters. Among them is what looks like the number 2.
Any thoughts?
I AM SORRY I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO LOAD AN IMAGE.

to CCF.
To add image
1. Image file size MUST be less the 100K. If not, crop picture to remove extraneous stuff and then if still to large use the 'resize' option.
2. click the 'Add Image' icon at the end of the data entry frame. It will lead you through the rest.
GOOD TO HAVE YOU ON-BOARD.

This is a Magic Token, used in Magic shows in the early 1900's.

Yep. How does echizento know this? Because he's got one, and posted it here on the forum to ID, a couple of years ago.

Here's the old thread with pics of echizento's example.
