ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4416 Posts	Posted 07/09/2010 09:30 am Is the flipside identical? If so, it may have been a gaming token or counter, representing whatever denomination/value that the game players would have it be. The die work appears to me to be latter-half 1800's. The tree is possibly the Charter Oak? Looks like the token has incurred environmental damage; perhaps, from having been in the ground for a time? The hole appears to be original as opposed to being a later addition. Without any identifying legend this token would is a "maverick." Report this Post to the Staff
ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4416 Posts	Posted 07/09/2010 09:40 am I'm unable to judge the size, and my game guess was based on the assumption that the token is about that of a quarter. It could also have been a key tag for a hotel, check for some merchant, etc. Report this Post to the Staff
quiquelo Valued Member Colombia 86 Posts	Posted 02/23/2011 10:25 pm I think that's a Colombian token that is relatively scarce. On the reverse it should say: "Segovia & Co. 10 La Elvira". * Edited by Staff - Please Review the rules that you agreed to when you registered. * Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16837 Posts	Posted 03/19/2011 06:35 am It's not the first such item to me posted on the forum - here's another one just like it - and we've never had an authoritative or satisfactory explanation for them. There's a link to a Treasurenet thread in the thread I've just posted, but they don't seem to be sure of what it is either. For all the other similar tokens posted here, the other side has been a blank crosshatching pattern. 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
