I was wondering if anyone recognizes and has any info on this metallic disc. I think it looks like a token:

I took this image from a youtube video, showing an obelisk being broken down. You can google "Mohawks filmed removing U.S.-Canada border post" for more info.

I don't recognize that specific medallion, but it looks to me like a survey marker. You know, the kind that is plante in the ground as a survey reference point.

I see these all the time in the mountains. They represent surveyor marks seen on USGS maps.
