Hi, I recently discovered this medal in a coin collection. It seems to be a depiction of the Liberty Tree of colonial era, but perhaps it is just an ordinary tree. Anybody's guess. If you can tell me any more about it, I'd love to hear it.

And the Reverse, if it helps:

It's definitely not Colonial as evident by the design elements as well as the perfect round shape. I would put all my money on a copper or bronze composition, Grade would be approx. VG10 IMO. I really like the woven pattern on the reverse! Most likely a fruit tree and intended as a medal to be worn.

Thanks for the reply. Just to be clear, I didn't think that the medal was from the colonial era, just that it might be a depiction of the Liberty Tree. Probably not. I'd just like to know something more about this medal.

Your welcome. That is of course, just my opinion. I'll do some more research and post here if I find anything else ;-)

I ran across something very similar. Referred to as a Guatimoc token from Mex. 1911 Also "coffee tree" token

I found & lost another site, a metal detecting one with your rev. I'll try to find it. Here's one:
