phillipsvilla New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 02/12/2011 1:23 pm on the reverse says united state of america 2 1/2 d and the obverse it says republica argentina libertad. the obverse has a picture of liberty and the reverse an eagle in fact it is exact copy of a 2 1/2 dollar gold piece. it has a reeded edge and holed. I would appreciate any information that can give on this. it is the size of 2 1/2 gold dollar. Thanks in Advance, Ray Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16806 Posts	Posted 02/12/2011 10:44 pm I'm sure we had an old thread here on the forum where someone asked about one of these, but I can't find it right now. Your piece isn't a real coin, as you've guessed. It would probably have been made as a "jewellery copy". As I recall the other example was showing greenish colour through the gilt surface, so it wasn't made of gold. 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

Sap Moderator Australia 16806 Posts	Posted 02/13/2011 4:55 pm I found the old thread. It's a similar piece (Argentina/USA) but an imitation $5 coin rather than a $2.50 coin.

phillipsvilla New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 02/13/2011 9:20 pm Thanks, I appreciate that information. However, That token was for a 5d piece and the one I have is for 2 1/2d. Maybe there was a series of these. Interesting!! Ray Report this Post to the Staff
